Quotes from the 2008 LHH Event

"What I loved about the LHH conference was the opportunity to spend an entire weekend with like-minded folks, all concerned with maintaining lightness from start to finish."  
~DML  David Lichman

I have seen a bunch of clinic and tons of DVDs but the Light Hands clinic of 2008 was the best! Dr. Miller’s sessions alone were worth the price of admission. And I never tire of seeing such high caliber, knowledgeable, clinicians do their thing. There’s always something new to learn. And being able to sit with these guys and hear their stories and ask them questions is something most of us never get the opportunity to do.

 "Go for the beautiful scenery, the cowgirl poetry, the acoustic music, the campfire-cooked food, and the SHOPPING!  Stay for the education." ~Diane Garrow   Abovelevel.com

"I was fortunate to be invited to the LHH clinic at Santa Inez.  I came away duly impressed.  Debbie's format was perfect and nothing was left undone.  Her months of work and planning paid off.  The beautiful facility was awe-inspiring.  Visitors were greeted with hospitality and friendliness seldom seen at a clinic.  We were just like a big family.  The chuck-wagon food was second to none, along with music during dinner hour.  Horses were shown in a progression from start to finish and Eitan's display was the epitome of true horsemanship.  Next year's clinic will be even greater with new ideas, new additions, and new changes.  It will be an absolute MUST to be present in 09. "

"As a professor of Psychology, I am intensely familiar with learning theory and the application thereof. As a horseman, I am quite familiar with how the various concepts of 'learning' apply in the relationships I have with my horses. Having studied the approaches and techniques of several trainers, I marvel at how frequently so many of them leave out the basic information needed to fully grasp how a successful horse/human relationship, particularly with regard to training, develops. The 2008 LHH clinic beautifully and intelligently provided a venue to see master horsemen sharing the art and science of working with these animals. There was no pretense at mystical communication, just unrestrained sharing from multiple points of view in a relaxed and gorgeous locale. I eagerly look forward to next year's clinic.

Quotes from the 2007 LHH Event

"Regardless of the discipline, lightness and balance is desired of the horse, and light hands should be a goal of the rider."     ~ Robert M. Miller DVM
