The novice trail clinic is an excellent opportunity for those who are new to the world of mountain trail riding and shows. You will learn the skills and techniques necessary to safely navigate the terrain and any obstacles. The beginner clinic is a great way to gain confidence on horseback and to become more comfortable navigating the trails and mountain trail shows on your own.
"My decision to train with Mary Jane Brown changed my riding life. Since beginning with her I possess 11 National Mountain Trail Champion titles, 8 Northwest Champion titles at Oregon Horse Center, Cowboy Mountain Trail All Around Cowhand Champion at Walla Walla. I'm now riding my second pony under Mary Jane's tutelage and we are on our way with firsts at Bonina Ranch and CMTC. I am a tentative rider after injuries sustained over the past ten years. My reticence falls aside with the encouragement and confidence I receive at clinics and private lessons. The positive can do attitude I watch from Mary Jane and Sally and Levi has changed the way I ride and helped me achieve my dreams. I've had the privilege of watching other riders grow tremendously in their relationship with their horse and accomplish a level of riding I don't think they even saw as possible. Each rider has their own needs and desires and finding a good fit with a coach is so important. I'm very fortunate to have found my perfect fit." -Stephanie Nelson & River
