The TWHBEA "Walk This Way" Tour, featuring Nicole Carswell, was held this past spring at Standing Rock Ranch. Nearly 40 owners and riders of gaited horses participated in the two day clinic focusing on achieving the most out of themselves and their equine partners. Subjects varied from ground handling, bits and their function, show techniques, to rein, leg, and seat aids. Participants auditing or sitting out on a session were treated to a "ring side seat" in the center of the arena with Nicole.
Nicole Carswell's nearly 25 years of experience and leadership in the Tennessee Walking Horse Industry makes her a facinating and enlightened spokesperson and clinician for the breed. Her knowledge and teaching ability were well accepted and applied by the riders. Combine that with her quick wit and a good dose of southern charm and we were hooked.
