There are 5 Horsemanship Clinics offered. The program is designed to start at the beginning and build a foundation and a one of a kind relationship with your horse. Chris has designed each clinic to be progressive to continue to build on your knowledge, communication, effectiveness, feel and timing. The program is designed so you can accelerate your horsemanship as far as YOU want to take it. Since the clinics are progressive, it is crucial that you start at the beginning of the program Horsemanship I to ensure a solid foundation and the philosophy on how and when to apply it with the horse’s thought process.
To qualify for Horsemanship I, you must be able to walk, trot, and lope on a loose rein, if you are unable to meet this requirement Building Rider Confidence is designed to meet those individual's needs.

Chris knows not everyone is able to travel to the Diamond Double C Ranch for the 6 Day horsemanship clinics. To make his horsemanship program more widely available, Chris offers a few select 3-day horsemanship Clinics away from the ranch throughout the country. Local fans act as hosts at their own facility or a local facility that meets the minimum requirements. Hosts are able to 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.
