Connection Series Clinic
This clinic is a 3 day clinic where participants will work with Scott Purdum up to 4 hours each day focusing on seat stabilization, stability of mind, and unlocking your horse’s potential. The Connection Series Clinic can have up to 2 sessions per day, AM and PM session, depending on the amount of interest in the clinic. Each session can have up to 8 participants.
Description of the 3 main components:
1) Seat Stabilization- how to effectively change the 3 main parts of your body to lower the center of gravity, open your hips for communication, and become more centered on the horse
2) Stability of Mind- how to effectively communicate between horse and rider and eliminate the fears under saddle
3) Unlock your Horse’s Potential- you will learn how to unlock your horse’s potential and help them become softer, more engaging from the hind end and moving more fluently.
This series creates a fun, educational, and supportive way for every rider to advance the communication with their horse! No matter where you are with your riding, or what discipline you ride, this clinic will build the ultimate relationship between horse and rider.
Scott Purdum has devoted the majority of his time learning human and equine body mechanics to develop a program that bring both together to build a true connection. Through seat stabilization and opening the communication line, riders will start to see a difference right away. Each day will consist of multiple group and individual sessions.
You will learn to feel and push your horse in a positive way. Throughout the weekend, you will see each session building off the last leading to a true connection under saddle. You will immediately feel the sense of when true connection is accomplished as each move you feel a sense of elegance. You will leave this weekend with stability in your seat and peace of mind knowing you are connected with your horse. Each ride you take on your horse will be purposeful as you feel your horse more engaged and willing with everything you ask.
Fast Track Weekend

The Fast Track Weekend will have a set start time of 9:30AM each day and have a max of 10 participants to ensure each rider gets one-on-one attention and a customized training plan.
No matter the skill level or discipline, Scott will create a training program specific to you and your horse’s needs regardless of where you are with your training program. Scott will touch on just a few ideas and tips on how to become more connected with your horse.

This workshop is done both without the horse and then with them in order to put into practice the information learned.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this clinic different from others I have taken?
These clinics are all about you! Scott keeps the total number of participants low to ensure one on one attention. This allows for personalization throughout the entire clinic. There are times when you will work as an entire group, and times when you will be working towards your specific goals.
Will this fix my riding/training issues?
Yes! Scott takes a hands on approach to assess where you are in your training and will fill in any gaps in your training program to have success.
How is the clinic set up?
Each clinic is set up a little differently, however, each clinic you will work in individual and group sessions. Each session will build off the last as you work towards your goals. You can choose to work on the ground and/or undersaddle. These clinics are centered around you and what your goals are.
Can I bring an unbroke or only do groundwork?
