Three Day Horsemanship Clinics

3-Day Clinic Overview

The number of participants will be limited so each rider can expect to get individual feedback from Chris throughout the three days, as well as benefit from the feedback he will give others. Auditors will be allowed at a cost of $35 per day and cannot bring horses to the clinic.

The 3-Day Clinics will cover the basic horsemanship techniques that Chris teaches in his Instructional Programs, but rather than simply taking instruction from a DVD and hoping to follow accurately, clinic participants will have Chris Cox there in person to oversee, evaluate and assure their progress.

Chris will scrutinize the horses in the clinic, assessing their individual personalities in order to use his insights to help clinic participants better understand their horses. Sharing his vast knowledge and experience, Chris will make it possible for both clinic participants and auditors to move toward a more harmonious partnership with their horses.

Basic Clinic Information

Each clinic will be taught by Chris Cox and his hand-picked instructors and will consist of no more than twenty participants. Clinic times will be from 9 am to 5 pm. Participants will be accepted in the order in which we receive and approve their requests.

All participant horses must be broke to ride. The 3-Day Clinics are designed for intermediate and advanced riders only. If the spots are filled, a waiting list will be made in case of cancellation, those on the waiting list will be called.

Participant Fees
3-Day clinic cost is $1,300 per person and does not include stall fees.

For 3-Day Clinics in Mineral Wells Texas, the following options are available:

  • Stalls at Diamond Double C Ranch are $20 per day and will include 3 bags of Sun Coast Shavings with additional bags of bedding for $10 each.
  • Lodging at Lonesome Dove Bunk House is $35 per day.
  • Lodging in the Bunk House with 3 meals per day is $70 per day.
  • RV hookups are $20 per day.

To apply, or to view complete clinic requirements, download the 3-Day Clinic Enrollment Form. 

Spectator Tickets
Auditing cost is $35 per day and may be limited due to seating availability.

Payment Terms:
Due to a specific number of people required for each clinic, we require a minimum deposit of $650 paid upon receipt of our invoice after your application is approved. The final balance will be due no fewer than 45 days prior to the clinic start date. You are responsible for calling to make this payment. If you fail to pay your remaining balance when due, we'll assume you have cancelled and you will be subject to the following cancellation provisions.

Cancellation:
Participants are required to supply a non-refundable deposit based on 50% of the clinic cost at the time of booking to confirm your position. Upon confirmation you will be supplied a Chris Cox Horsemanship Company agreement and liability forms, which we require you to complete and return 45 days prior to your chosen clinic date.

Clinic positions are limited and spots fill fast so please be sure you are committed to attend when placing your deposit and understand that your final payment is due 45 days prior to your chosen clinic date.

If for some reason you are unable to attend a Chris Cox clinic on your selected date, we will allow you to role your deposit over to another clinic date as long as it falls within twelve months of your first selected date and we are able to fill your original position with another participant.

Please feel free to contact our clinic coordinator for more information by calling
1-888-81-HORSE.

Note:
All clinic deposits are non-transferable to another person.

Host a Chris Cox 3-Day Clinic

Not everyone can travel to the Diamond Double C Ranch for the 6-Day clinics Chris offers there. So, to make his horsemanship program more widely available, Chris is offering 3-Day Clinics throughout the country. Local people act as hosts at their own facility, if it meets the requirements, or at a local facility that does.

Hosts enjoy benefits such as a space in the clinic at no charge. They also retain proceeds from stall rentals. More than that, they get the satisfaction of knowing they have made it possible for the folks in their area to learn first-hand, the gentle, effective and practical horsemanship techniques that are the hallmark of Chris Cox’s program.

Repetition: Repeating in small steps is a good way to help your horse to gain confidence and understanding. For instance, when you first put on a saddle pad, take it off again right away. Do this again and again until the horse understands that one step and has confidence that it is a safe thing. The horse needs to understand that pressure doesn't last forever. He needs to understand that the saddle goes on, but it comes off too. He needs to understand that he'll go in the trailer, but he's not trapped and will be able to get back off. The repetition makes the step a part of the horse's library of “knowns,” so that now that step can be built on without resistance.



Halter & Lead
$59.99
<!--a-->Halter & Lead

The foundation of Chris' program is this specially designed halter with lead rope. This halter was created by Chris out of rope that is stiff enough to hold its shape and is unmatched in durability. The 13 foot lead rope is manufactured especially for Chris and was created for its specific weight and feel. This halter and lead rope are unique in not only these qualities but also in the attention to detail that comes with handmade quality products. You will notice that Chris' lead rope does not have any snaps or hardware to seize up or get in the way of your effective communication with your horse.




We audited the clinic that was held in Athens OH in June. What a learning experience. It was so informative to watch Chris work with the clinic participants and their horses.

Thanks for a great 3 days.
