As well as Clinics with Kate, we will be bringing International and Australian Horsemanship thought leaders and experts to you, so we can all improve our understanding of these noble beasts. We’re never too old or experienced to learn more.
All our clinics are intimate, experiential events, designed to give you and your horse the optimum environment to grow and learn.
Fence Sitters/Auditors are always welcome, but all places are limited so act fast, my friends!
Mountain Trail Clinics
Mountain Trail is a growing sport in Australia, offering an exciting and challenging experience for horses and their human partners.
Mountain Trail is designed with various obstacles that mimic natural elements and man made obstacles that horses might encounter on a trail ride. This creates a realistic and engaging environment, providing a wonderful, safe way to introduce horses to these obstacles.
It is also a fun way to build trust and handling skills between horse and rider. Even serious competitors in other disciplines can benefit from Mountain Trail, as it offers a refreshing break from the monotony of constant arena work. Unlike many disciplines, every breed of equine, from 6 months and older, can participate in Mountain Trail. It is also suitable for all riders—from Olympic competitors to beginners, and from youth riders to adults of all ages. Participants can use almost any type of equipment from any discipline, whether English, Western, or anything in between, and can choose to show either in hand or in the saddle.
We built our course as a super fun way to build connection through curiosity, compassion and connection.
Mountain Trail Clinics are held throughout the year. Places strictly limited to 7 participants.

Lockie Phillips was born in Melbourne, Australia and began ballet aged 5. Because he wanted to. He learned how to push his body, explore its limits, extend and master it. And how trainers can be brutal or empathetic.
Lockie has formal qualifications as a horse trainer in Natural Horsemanship, though his methods have evolved since graduation.
Lockie has formal qualifications as an instructor in Harmonious Seat Riding, though his methods of teaching have evolved since graduation.
Lockie has formal qualifications as a hoofcare provider, though the trim he now offers has developed and evolved since graduation.
Lockie has prior professional experience as saddle fitter, riding instructor, freelance horse trainer, rehabilitation of rescue horses, stable hand/groom, and trekking guide.
The marriage of all his experience is ‘Emotional Horsemanship’ – empathetic, kind, science based relationship work, directed by deep listening and feel.
