Clinics & Symposia
“A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.” (Albert Einstein)
Since preventing a problem is less costly than repairing lameness,
Jean Luc’s lessons can save you thousands of dollars.
Clinics and Symposia can be organized separately or conjointly.
Clinics
Clinics are usually week-end events: Friday, Saturday, and/or Sunday. (Minimum 2 days.)
A traditional clinic day is 8 private 1-hour lessons.
Jean Luc’s analytic approach is best served with private lessons.
However, for the study of a specific movement, group lessons with 2 or 3 riders are accepted.
Auditor fee is at the discretion and profit of the clinic host.
Lesson fees include airline ticket from Tampa Florida to Clinic’s closest major airport.
For the duration of the clinic, transportation from airport to clinic site, lodging, and meals are assumed by the clinic host.
Jean Luc arrives the day prior to the clinic and, transportation permitting, leaves the evening of the last clinic day.
Specific requests: Indoor ring or outdoor ring with access to indoor ring in case of bad weather.
Audio system. List of clinic participants provided prior to the clinic or upon arrival.
Symposia
The Symposia offer new and advantageous flexibility.
They are based on a daily flat fee allowing, if successful, money to be raised for more clinics.
The symposia address three fundamental topics:
Quality of life - Performances - Soundness.
A high quality video introduces each Symposium.
The topics addressed in the video are discussed and demonstrated through round table discussions, riding demonstrations, interactive sessions and additional photographic, video, and/or scientific investigations.
Interactive and casual, the Symposia permit open conversations where questions can be asked and answered.
Quality of Life Symposium
The video introducing the Symposium on the quality of daily life with the horse is about a new approach to the work in hand. The technique is inspired from General Decarpentry’s Academic Equitation (1949).
The technique is updated with advanced scientific discoveries and modern understanding of the horse’s mental processing.
The second part demonstrates how involvement of the horse’s intelligence and practical application of advances in scientific knowledge allow a good athlete but not a dressage specialist to learn and execute, at an age where other horses are retired, a piaffe that compares easily with the best dressage specialists in the world.
Performance Symposium
Despite being breed for dressage, the featured horse had been judged at age three as a “poor mover.” He was subsequently trained as a jumper. In front of your eyes, this “poor mover” uncovers world class gaits.
The video documentary shows and explains how the transformation was achieved.
Many horses are potentially great movers limited by a body coordination that does not allow them to express their talent.
All through the Symposium, discussions and demonstrations address scientific discoveries and novel riding and training techniques that permit comparable transformations.
Lameness Symposium
Respiratory diseases are the second cause for a performance horse's career to end.
The first cause is lameness.
The introductory video is the story of a horse that, at age three, was so lame that it could not trot carrying a rider. The horse’s case was dramatic, and his extraordinary recovery went beyond soundness.
The horse becomes an extraordinary mover.
“The significant problems we face today cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” (Albert Einstein)
Lameness issues cannot be resolved by applying riding and training principles that created the lameness.
A resolute evolution is needed. This Symposium introduces you to the practical application of recent scientific discoveries. “Soundness” is a difficult performance. Winning can be achieved out of the horse and rider’s talent. Instead, soundness demands that the rider and the horse’s gifts are supported with proven techniques. Often, the physical education used to restore soundness engenders greatness because the education efficiently coordinates the horse’s physique for the performance.
The combination Symposium/Clinic is entertaining and efficient. Other combinations can be adapted to specific situations and need: Lecture/Clinic, Symposium/Symposium, etc.
J. L. F. H.
(Jean Luc For Hire)
Is a less structured but popular option. Several rescue foundations have asked Jean Luc to stay two or three days at their facilities analyzing the horses’ problems and suggesting reeducation programs. Also, discussions and video presentations were directed on educating members of the foundations and preparing them for the task of adopting and reeducating a horse.
The flat fee is the same as that for the Symposiums. The schedule is discussed and agrees upon prior to the event.
Two variables of this program have been suggested and successfully completed. One was a college, whose equine program encountered difficulties with donated horses. The horses donated to the program were talented, but their soundness was difficult to preserve.
The other was a large hunter/jumper show barn that came to the realization that lameness was handicapping a large percentage of their horses. They were thrilled to realize that preparing the horses with respect to advanced scientific discoveries, instead of judging standards, allowed the horses to easily fulfill the judging standards and remain sound

Clinic and riders Testimonails
Dear Jean Luc,
I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude to you for being willing to come to our area and relate your expert knowledge to us! Your approach was so refreshing! It does seem that the German philosophy is so "overbearing" to the horses. Thank you, also, for your thoughts about horses and their kind natures and intelligence. It seems that so many people think they are only there to be bullied and to satisfy ego expectations. They are very special creatures indeed.
Respectfully,
Paula Salter
Heartfelt Farm
Everyone thoroughtly enjoyed Jean Luc. Most of the participants have never been exposed to a clinician of this magnitude with the clear knowledge , understanding, research and presentation to truly help every horse - we are all on a Jean Luc "High". He is truly one of a kind. Also, as you well know he has a wonderful sense of humour which really added to the fun and everyone was comfortable with him, they were not intimidated and felt at ease with asking questions. Even the facility owner, who is a western/natural horsemanship based rider said he enjoyed it and picked up quite a few concepts that he wants to incorporate into his riding and teaching. Thank you for sharing him with us! Pamela McKnight
"Thanks again so much for hosting, organizing, running, etc. the clinic this weekend. It was so fabulous. I am so very grateful that I had the opportunity to meet and work with Jean Luc. He is an extraordinary man. If you wind up giving him feedback from the weekend, please let him know how grateful I am and how highly I think of him. "
"The more I think about it, the more I applaud Jean Luc's work. I, too, am a researcher, so I really appreciate that aspect. For him to collect all of the relevant data and apply it to riding is inspiring. I also admire him for saying that many of the classical methods are not appropriate, given the knowledge we now have about the horse's musculoskeletal system. I would really love for him to be able to deliver this information to a very large number of people. I wish they would consider having him speak at the national USDF meetings." CJ
