Rother Horsemanship

5-Day Liberty & Performance Camp
2025-06-28 08:00 - 2025-07-02 17:00 UTC | Horse Creek Ranch, 6750 Springdale-Hunters Rd, Hunters, WA, 99137, United States
5-Day Liberty & Performance Camp – Horse Creek Ranch, Hunters, WA
This 5-day camp offers the opportunity to work at liberty with your horse as well as ride and practice horsemanship if you choose. Campers can bring up to 2 horses (1 for liberty and 1 to ride) or just bring 1 horse to use for both! An additional pen fee of $100 will be required for the second horse.
This camp has been an extremely popular event and is usually one of the first to fill; so, if you’re interested, be sure to reserve your spot early!
Liberty training can be very difficult to attain; however, it is one of the most valuable and connected tools you will have with your horse. There are many different styles of liberty available and we teach one that truly works (don’t believe us….go back and watch videos from our previous liberty camps). 😉
Steve has been practicing and performing at liberty with his horses for decades. His horses have performed in a variety of environments, which normally poses the most difficulties for people. The common quote we here from people is “my horse was good at home?”.

Do you want to learn how to become that true leader that your horse is seeking?
Come join us at Horse Creek Ranch and immerse yourself for 5 days of liberty focused training.

We try to limit this camp to no more than 12 people and spectators are not permitted. Our liberty camps are also currently ONLY offered at the ranch.
We will be working with you one-on-one to help you achieve a true liberty relationship with your horse; and you will learn the key foundation exercises and concepts that most people never learn when working with their horses at liberty.

This clinic will be split into two classes so that everyone can have extensive one-on-one time with Steve. Participants from both Levels can watch the opposite Level at no cost. If there are not enough signups to form two groups, they will be combined and will 9:30-3:00 with a lunch break from 11:30-1:00.
The Level 1 Class will be primarily focused towards teaching principles of safety, communication, and confidence building for both horse and rider. This is a great class for anyone who is new or still needing foundation exercises, lacking confidence, possibly looking to not canter too much (or wanting to try cantering more), having any major issues with their horse (bucking, rearing, etc.), or themselves. Green horses (less than 6 months of riding) should be in this class. We recommend this class if you have not previously done a clinic with Steve. It will run from 9:00am – 1:30pm.
The Level 2 Class will be primarily focused towards teaching more intermediate to advanced principles. In this class we will assume that you have basic understanding of natural horsemanship groundwork concepts and techniques and are willing to have a ‘go for it’ attitude. This class will involve advancing your groundwork techniques, body control, and riding maneuvers. If your horse has any behavioral issues (bucking, rearing, striking, etc.), this class is not for you. It will run from 2:00pm – 6:30pm.
This clinic builds on concepts that take several days to achieve. For best results the clinic should be attended in its entirety; however, a minimum participation of 2 days is required. If your horse is not rideable or is too you, you can participate only within the groundwork portion. Note that if there is a smaller number of registered riders, we may only have one group.

Steve is one of the most sought-after instructors in the horse industry. Traveling all over the US and Canada, he has helped thousands of horses and riders develop more willing partnerships. His methods and teaching style are unique and produce instant results. Whether to overcome fears, or gain more control, participants will leave the clinic empowered and more excited about reaching their horsemanship goals.
This clinic is designed to be an overall learning experience that builds on several aspects of communication, confidence, respect, trust, impulsion, and performance. The clinic is open to people of all skill levels and disciplines, beginner to advanced are welcome. We also welcome horses of all ages and breeds.
Some of the things you will learn through the clinic are:

Confidence to overcome fears.
Tools to keep your horse calm, curious, and respectful.
How to develop safe, content, and willing horses.
Feel and timing to increase your horse’s “try”.
Common mistakes of both the horse and rider.
How to think from a horse’s point of view.
What to expect from your horse and what to do when your horse does the unexpected.
How to accomplish incredible things with your horse.
Key exercises to unlock your horse’s potential.
Exercises to correct your horse’s bad habits.
How to gain overall control of your horse’s five body parts and get your horse supple and responsive.
How to make the wrong thing difficult and the right thing easy, a key lesson for solving problems.
How to get the most out of each training session with their horse at the clinic and at home!

Essentially, we will be teaching you the building blocks for success!
This clinic will be split into two classes so that everyone can have extensive one-on-one time with Steve. Participants from both Levels can watch the opposite Level at no cost.
The Level 1 Class will be primarily focused towards teaching principles of safety, communication, and confidence building for both horse and rider. This is a great class for anyone who is new or still needing foundation exercises, lacking confidence, possibly looking to not canter too much (or wanting to try cantering more), having any major issues with their horse (bucking, rearing, etc.), or themselves. Green horses (less than 6 months of riding) should be in this class. We recommend this class if you have not previously done a clinic with Steve. It will run from 9:00am – 1:30pm.
The Level 2 Class will be primarily focused towards teaching more intermediate to advanced principles. In this class we will assume that you have basic understanding of natural horsemanship groundwork concepts and techniques and are willing to have a ‘go for it’ attitude. This class will involve advancing your groundwork techniques, body control, and riding maneuvers. If your horse has any behavioral issues (bucking, rearing, striking, etc.), this class is not for you. It will run from 2:00pm – 6:30pm.
This clinic builds on concepts that take several days to achieve. For best results the clinic should be attended in its entirety; however, a minimum participation of 2 days is required. If your horse is not rideable or is too you, you can participate only within the groundwork portion.

Come join us at Horse Creek Ranch for a complete immersion into horsemanship. This fun and educational camp is a learning event of a lifetime. Horse Creek Ranch will be your home for at least 5 days as Steve leads you to a higher level of understanding and communication with your horse. The things that you learn during your stay at the ranch will permanently change the way that you handle horses, in a positive way. This is a small group atmosphere that will ensure lots of personal instruction from Steve.

The confidence to overcome fears.
Tools to keep your horse calm, curious, and respectful.

How to think from a horse’s point of view.
What to do when your horse does the unexpected.
How to accomplish incredible things with your horse.

Exercises to correct your horse’s bad habits.

At the end of the camp, you will head home with new and exciting concepts of how to communicate with your horse and how to give them purpose; allowing you to continue to build a relationship based on respect and understanding.
Horse Creek Ranch was created in order to provide a much greater learning experience for riders from all over the world. Here at the ranch we are able to immerse people and horses in a way that is much more related to real life and real situations. By doing this we are able to produce a much deeper and more effective relationship between horse and rider.
Horse Creek Ranch is located in NE Washington, about 1.5 hours NW of Spokane. At the ranch we provide both indoor and outdoor arenas and round pens, corrals and stalls for guest horses, extreme trail courses, creeks, ponds, a lake, waterfall, mountain and open pasture riding, leased horses, and cattle. Groups are kept to a minimum in order to ensure plenty of one-on-one instruction and a peaceful stay at the ranch.
