The clinic
You will experience Shawna's signature clinic. She will work with up to 12 horses over the weekend. Each horse will receive individualized training on Saturday and Sunday, with opportunities for questions and conversation. Shawna offers unparalleled practical education in positive equine training for both participants with horses and auditors. It's a rare opportunity to learn from a master.


The location
The clinic will be held at beautiful Polestar Farm owned by Meika Decher and Mark Salser. This 400 acre 3-day event and training facility is located in Lake Stevens, WA. It features 10 miles of scenic riding trails, a cross country field, and covered and outdoor arenas.

The cost
The two-day clinic is $500 for participants with horses and $150 for auditors. Light snacks and beverages will be provided. For the mid-day lunch break, please pack your own or select the lunch purchase option for $20. Shawna will have positive reinforcement training tools available for purchase. Overnight and day stall rental at Polestar Farm is available for participants with horses.


See you in September!
Please contact clinic organizer Robin Foster if you have questions about this clinic, [email protected]

     Step 1. Register

    Participants with horses, please tell us a bit about your horse.
    For under saddle work, horses should have foundation positive reinforcement target training prior to the clinic. Please contact Robin Foster for more information.
    Need a stall? 
    Select the days you will need an overnight stall. Choose the day stall option only if you will be hauling your horse in and out each day. The lovely trails at Polestar Farm will be open to clinic participants who reserve Friday stalls.
    Stall requests will be sent to Meika Decher and payment will be made directly to Polestar Farm. For more information about stalls contact Meika at: https://www.polestarfarm.com/contact
    Note for participants with horses
    Bring a generous supply of food/treats for training. Shawna recommends a hay pellet mix. The base is a low-carb feed like Triple Crown Lite, mixed with senior feed (which has molasses), carrots, apples, and other treats. Shawna will work with you and your horse a few sessions per day, which will add up to more food than you might think.
