Step beyond the ordinary and into a world where wonder, power, and connection collide beneath the lights.

It’s real.
And you can feel it.

Trick Training Clinic - Connection Academy

Join Connection Academy trainer Kaleigh Marie for three days devoted to teaching some of the most popular and beloved tricks to your horse. These tricks can include the Lay Down, Bow, Spanish Walk, Sit Down, Smile, Fetch, and more. Your imagination is the limit! This clinic emphasizes the training benefits of clicker training - which is strongly encouraged but not necessary to participate - and the emotional benefits of trick training horses.

Outside of being a fun activity for humans and horses alike, trick training helps us as trainers to better understand how to break down and teach behavior, practice better feel and timing, and notice how our horses' emotions play a roll in their learning.

Throughout the clinic, you’ll gain insight into how positive reinforcement can build motivation, expression, and trust—often revealing new sides of your horse that carry over into every other discipline. Expect plenty of laughter, lightbulb moments, and meaningful connection as horses and humans learn together.

Whether you’re interested in adding tricks to your training, improving communication, or deepening your relationship with your horse, this Trick Training Clinic offers a joyful, thoughtful, and empowering approach to learning that celebrates both the mind and heart of the horse.

Participant Fee: $600/horse

Auditing Fee: $75/day

Connection Discovery Day - Connection Academy

Connection Discovery Day at The Connection Academy is an open-door invitation to step behind the scenes of connection-based training and experience how our horses are truly educated as we invest into the partnerships that we share with them.

This immersive day is open to the public and designed for auditors who want to observe real training in real time with a variety of horses.

Sessions may include liberty work, bridleless riding, jumping, dressage, clicker training, trick training, and more. Rather than following a fixed timetable, the day flows organically based on what each horse genuinely needs in that moment. This creates a dynamic, ever-changing learning environment with incredible variety and authenticity.
