Luke Gingerich
specializes in teaching Performance Liberty Horsemanship, combining relationship-based training with high-level performance. His mission is to inspire and educate horsemen and women to better connect with and understand their horses, while both improving their relationship and achieving results.
Demos
Includes a freestyle performance, general overview of Luke's program, and Q & A. Demos can be combined with clinics.
Intensive Clinics
If you are looking to not only improve your relationship with your horse, but to gain a thorough understanding of Luke’s approach, and how to apply these tools and principles to any horse you work with in the future, these clinics are for you!
Luke accepts six participants for his one-week intensive Performance Horsemanship
clinics, so they have a very personalized format, with plenty of individualized attention
for each student and horse.
Each participant has two sessions each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon with their horse. Clinics begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at approximately 5:00 p.m. each day and there is a lunch break in between the morning and afternoon sessions..
Luke's work focuses on combining relationship-based training with an emphasis
on healthy biomechanics and high-level performance.
Luke often shares a demo at the beginning of the day, followed by participant sessions.
