Clinics
Arrange a clinic with Bent Jensen at your location.
Bent emphasizes relaxed, correct training for both horse and rider. He uses gymnastics designed to achieve many goals, putting the horse and rider in just the right position to improve the horse's straightness, rhythm and quality of gaits. Bent also has a gift for explaining concepts to horses while in the saddle, ideas that continue when the rider is back up on their own horse - an improvement that they take home with them.
Bent is a monthly clinician at Final Decision Farm in Woodbine, MD. He also conducts clinics in Pittsburg, PA, and Denver, Colorado on a regular basis. To arrange a clinic at your facility, contact him atbjdressage_aol.com.
