The Plus J Ranch Horsemanship Experience
With Mark Hausman, Horsemanship Clinician Focused on Communication, Connection, and Liberty
​
There’s a difference between riding a horse… and truly communicating with one.
This May, step into a rare opportunity to work alongside respected horseman and clinician Mark Hausman in an intimate, high-touch clinic designed to transform the way you connect with your horse—both on the ground and under saddle.
Set against the backdrop of Plus J Ranch, this experience goes beyond the arena.
Over the course of the weekend, you’ll have the opportunity to:
-
Refine communication through clear, effective horsemanship principles
-
Develop softness, responsiveness, and trust
-
Explore the connection between groundwork, liberty, and under saddle work
-
Gain personalized feedback in both private and group settings
And when the riding day ends… the experience continues.
As the sun drops, we gather for the “Ponytail” Cocktail Hour, followed by an unforgettable live fire dining experience with Chef Bob—where good horses, good people, and great food come together under the Florida sky.
This is not a crowded clinic.
This is not a passive learning experience.
This is intentional, immersive horsemanship—done right.
Spots are limited.
