Join Dan James for a 3-Day Liberty Clinic at Crystal Ridge Equine Facility in Jessieville, Arkansas, December 4-6, 2026.

This hands-on clinic is designed to help participants build clearer communication, better timing, and a stronger Liberty foundation with their horse. Over three days, Dan will work with each horse-and-handler pair in a focused clinic setting, helping participants understand the process behind connection, confidence, draw, and communication at Liberty.

Auditors are also welcome and will have the opportunity to watch the clinic from the sidelines, learning from each session as Dan works with different horses and participants throughout the weekend.
