Dive into Dressage
Erin MacQuarrie
I've participated in a couple clinics at 51 acres in the past two years (Danique + Erin). Both were different clinicians, and each event ran beautifully. 51 Acres does a fabulous job hosting. Information for participants is timely, rules for visitors are clear, and they work hard to keep everything running smoothly and on time - Tori

Matt Hudson
I can’t emphasize enough how great it was attending the Matt Hudson clinics at 51 Acres. The events were well planned and organized, the staff were friendly and helpful, and of course the clinician himself was a wealth of knowledge able to adjust to all rider levels! I would 10/10 recommend anyone to go to one of his clinics, whether it be as a participant or to audit. - Matt

Danique Henderson
The Danique Henderson clinic was also amazing (cold but amazing) She was great at asking what you wanted to accomplish and explaining how to get what you are looking for. She was really good at reading and figuring out a horse and how they would respond.
She helped me put my first ride on my horse and it was uneventful which was perfect. Didn't feel rushed at all and felt like she was really focus on me and my horse _Sydney

Kempton Phillips
Kempton Phillips Clinic was so amazing! Getting back into the horse world with a young one, Kemptons clinic was so good for us! Well organized and accommodating, we are booked in to head back to 51 Acres for another clinic in May 2024! -Harlee

Matt Hudson
The Matt Hudson clinic was amazing! Learning how to lift your horses shoulders and stay framed is so much more important than I thought it was, before taking this clinic. Both auditing and participating were so beneficial, would always go back for more - Anna
LETS GET RANCHY
Alex Ross
51 acres is branched out & dove into the art of Ranch Riding. Auditors and participants alike joined us to gain a wealth of knowledge in the ranch world. Coming all the way from Texas, Alex Ross shared his love for the sport and shared his judging and coaching skills.

The clinic I took with Danique was great! I learned a lot of things to help my horse and I work better together as a team, and it definitely helped. I cannot wait to take more in the future. - kyah

Danique Henderson
For years I heard people rave about how knowledgeable Danique is, and when leaving her clinics how accomplished they felt. When I got my horse as a yearling I knew I wanted to do a clinic with her. After the first one I was hooked. I made more progress in that weekend than I had made in months. I felt stuck and she got all the wheels turning. I’ve done 3 clinics to date, as well as a lesson, and plan to do many more in the future. I love the way she teaches her participants. Her delivery is specific to each rider, and she works towards making sure everyone understands. She has given me so much confidence in myself when working with Buzby, and I always feel extremely safe when working with her. I 100% recommend her to anyone who feels they need some magic to get back on the right path with their horse -Ally

I would 10/10 recommend anyone to go to one of his clinics, whether it be as a participant or to audit. - MattI had the pleasure of attending the “Mind Over Obstacle” clinic at 51 Acres, with Mike and Nikki Porter. It was one of my first off property excursions with my 3 year old and we had such a phenomenal weekend. By the end of day one we had my filly going effortlessly around the obstacles on the ground, and we were riding through them in day two. It really gave us a solid foundation of problem solving skills and a boost of confidence as we came into our first show season together. The facility was clean and well prepared for the event. 51 is our favourite place to go! - Emily
Reining
Kempton Phillips
Kempton is a great clinician to be under for any level horse or rider or discipline, you never walk away without learning something new. Not afraid to take the reins when things aren't working out or to show by example. Always willing to help when you and your horse are learning. One of the best to learn under in my opinion!!!
Always come away with new friends and very welcoming upon arrival to help get you unpacked and settled- Heather
Jump into summer
Sheila Pickrell
Was so happy to once again do this clinic and that it was a 2 day event. I enjoyed everything from riding to just hang out on the side watching. Sheila was amazing in helping me find spots that I need to work on and how to help me improve as a jumper. 51 made me feel like part of their little barn family- Trinity

Danique Henderson
51 Acres is one of the most welcoming facilities I have ever been for as far as both my horse and myself are concerned. I love that the stalls are outside (great for my boy with respiratory issues). The location is easy to find and access with lots of trailer parking and everything you need at your fingertips. It is one of my absolute favorite facilities to visit- Sara

Reining + Ranch Riding
Mona Lewis
Mona was so fun to learn from. She is both a judge and a coach, so was able to give her perspective from ring side. She took us back to basics, and helped us find the holes in our training. 10/10 would ride with her again!

Sheila Pickrell
Sheila Pickerell was also so good! Learning how to properly jump was a challenge as I am not an english person, but she made it so much easier! -Anna

Danique Henderson
My journey with raising my first foal has been full of ups and downs. As she approached closer and closer to being ready to start, I became stuck on what to work on. Danique gave me the confidence to work through baby moments, as well as walked me through safely ground driving and ponying her for the first time. I felt good knowing safety was #1, and that I had the support and knowledge to move forward with my yearlings training - Shelby

Western Horsemanship
Jospeh Upshaw
We traveled from Fredericton with 3 horses. My dad with his horse and big strides for them was just being able to work together. And he was able to work her and mount her independently by the end of the clinic after his guidance in teaching my dad how to read his horse’s cue.- Kennedy

Andrew Romans
I came out to audit the Andrew clinic! It was great to see all different level riders, as well as be able to enjoy the beautiful property at 51. I'll be back to audit more, for sure!
Reining
Travis Smith
I brought my mare who is new to reining. Travis was great at explaining the basics and teaching us the ropes of a new discipline - Chance
