TRISH HYATT & WORKING EQUITATION SIMPLIFIED PRESENT
You don't fix a circle, by riding more circles.
Five days to a rounder, easier circle, both directions, on your own horse, from your own arena.
Lookin g for the free workshop? It's ended, but will be available during the clinic.
If this sounds familiar
Here's the thing about circles.
Everybody rides them, all day, in every discipline. Every turn, every corner, every obstacle with a curve in it is a circle underneath.
And most of them aren't round.
You feel it. One direction is fine. The other one, he leans in, or drifts out, or speeds up, and you've been fighting it so long it just feels normal.
Here's the part nobody tells you. Riding the same wonky circle over and over doesn't round it out. It just wears the same groove a little deeper.
The circle isn't the thing to fix. It's the thing showing you what to fix.
And the moment you can see that, the whole picture changes.
TRISH HYATT & WORKING EQUITATION SIMPLIFIED PRESENT
The clinic that comes to your arena.
Five days, three obstacles, and you'll leave with a few real things to work on that are exactly what your horse needs.
Starts August 1.
What This Is
So this week, instead of drilling circles,
we do something different.
I give you one simple way to set your horse up so his circle stops hiding what's really going on. You'll see it, not guess at it. And then, for five days, the group and I help you change the thing underneath, the thing that's been pulling your circle out of shape all along.
You ride on your own time. You post what happened. I have a look, and some rides get a full written review from me that the whole group learns from.
And you're riding with other people again, virtually. You watch their circles, they watch yours, and everybody starts to see their own horse in someone else's ride.
From your own arena, on your own schedule. No hauling, no hotel, no weekend gone.
- Live October 1 to 5. Ride on your own time across those days.
- Online. From your arena, wherever that is.
- A full 28 days of access, not just the live days.
- Live Q&A on days 1, 3, and 5. All recorded, so join live or catch the replay.
The Real Math
A clinic weekend starts at $300 just for the lessons. That's before fuel, before a stall for your horse, before a hotel for you, before the whole weekend's gone.
And you know how the first lesson usually goes. Your horse is wound up in a strange place, so the first ride is half spent just getting his brain back. You've paid for it either way.
Then you drive home with a page of notes and nobody to ask. Within a week you've forgotten most of it. And the day your horse does something different from what he did at the clinic, you're on your own to work out what to do.
This is different.
From your own arena, your horse relaxed because he's home. Five days, not a weekend. Your access stays open a month, so when something new comes up next week, you can just ask.
The whole clinic on its own is $50. Still less than auditing a weekend from the rail, and you're the one riding.
Or, for $32, you get the same clinic plus your first month in the Rider's Success Circle. Then it's $32 a month for a new clinic every month, and your price never goes up. Cancel anytime.
Yes, $32 is less than $50 and comes with more. That's on purpose. The $50 is there for anyone who just wants this one clinic and nothing ongoing.
More days, more support, more time. For less money.
Everything a clinic gives you, minus the parts that make it hard.
What You Get
- One clear lesson to start. One simple setup, and a way of riding it that finally shows you what your horse's circle is really doing. You go deep on the one thing underneath everything, instead of juggling a new one every day.
- A few real things to work on that fit your horse. Not the same answer for everyone. What comes out of your circle is yours, because every horse starts somewhere different.
- Eyes on your ride. Post your video and what you saw. Some rides get a full written review from me, in the community, that the whole group learns from.
- A room full of riders. Watch everyone else's circles and start seeing your own horse's habits in theirs. This is the part you can't get riding alone.
- Two sheets to read your own circle. A Circle Score Sheet and a Rider Self-Check, so you can see and score what's happening, going left and going right, whether or not your video gets a personal review.
- Feedback on your terms. Want the other riders weighing in? Use the #Critique hashtag. Don't? Leave it off and get encouragement only. You choose, every single post.
- Your questions answered. Add them to the questions post for priority, and come to a live Q&A to go deeper on your horse.
- A whole month, not just a week. Your access stays open 28 days. Keep building on what you found, in the community and the weekly calls.

Who This Is For
This is for you if...
- Your circles go better one way than the other, and you've never quite pinned down why.
- You ride mostly on your own and want to see what a good eye would see.
- You like working on your horse with other people around, and you don't get to as often as you'd like.
- Whatever you're working at, walk or trot or canter, green or seasoned, English or western, you're in the right place.
You don't need fancy footing or obstacles. You need a horse, a place to ride, and a bit of basic gear you almost certainly already have.
What You'll Need
Almost nothing, and nothing fancy.
- Your horse, and a place to ride a circle.
- A little basic gear you very likely already have like poles or cones. I'll show you exactly how to set it up on day one.
- To share a ride: your phone and something to prop it on. Optional, but it's how you get eyes on your circle.
That's it.

Meet Your Guide
I'm Trish Hyatt.
I've spent over 40 years working with horses. Most of that time I was the person other trainers, coaches, and vets called when something had gone wrong. The job was to figure out what the actual issue was, and fix it.
What I noticed over and over was that the problem usually wasn't the horse. It was something in the communication, the timing, or the rider's understanding of what they were actually asking for.
That's why I teach with diagnostics rather than fixed methods. So you can read your own horse, on your own, without needing someone standing beside you every ride.
Working Equitation pulls all of that together. The flatwork, the obstacles, the precision, the communication. You can't hide in Working Equitation. The obstacles tell you exactly where you are.

What Riders Are Saying
Real feedback from real riders.
"Saying the Challenge has helped a ton is definitely an understatement!"
Brenda: "We've really enjoyed the Reverse Gate Confidence Challenge!!"
Trish: "Had you ever done a reverse gate before?"
Brenda: "We gave it a try last summer, but it ended up causing my horse a lot of anxiety and anticipation. So, saying the Challenge has helped a ton is definitely an understatement."
Brenda B.
"From anxious to confident: I improved my horse's performance!"
I knew the basics of the pen obstacle - to enter and circle both directions. I was missing was how to achieve a smooth transition at the pen entrance, maintain bend and tempo, re-enter while maintaining correct bend.
Trish broke it down into separate pieces to practice, then put together. The teaching process led me to successfully achieve my goals to fine-tune the pen.

Thank you, Trish~it makes perfect sense now that you have explained how to work with the horse's drift, keep their trust, and get them to realize you are working together as a team.

Frequently Asked Questions
A few things you might be wondering.
Is this live? I'm not sure I can be there at set times.
Lessons are pre-recorded and yours to watch any time during the clinic. You ride on your own time. The only live pieces are the Q&A calls on days 1, 3, and 5, and those are all recorded. Nothing about the clinic depends on you being somewhere at a set hour.
Do I need to have done the free workshop first?
No. The workshop is a lovely head start, and the replay is in the community if you want it, but this clinic stands on its own. You don't need to have seen anything before it.
Do I have to post a video of myself riding?
No. You'll get the most from it if you do, because that's how you get eyes on your circle, but plenty of riders just read along and work their horse. And when you post, you control the feedback: suggestions only if you ask for them.
Do I need special equipment or real obstacles?
No. A bit of basic gear you likely already have, and a place to ride, cover it. I'll show you exactly how to set up on day one. Nothing to buy, nothing to build.
Is this only for Working Equitation riders?
No. This comes from the way I teach Working Equitation, but a round, balanced circle is the foundation of every kind of riding, in every discipline. If your horse travels on a circle, or bending line, this is for you.
How long do I have access?
A full 28 days, so the clinic doesn't vanish when the live days end. You can keep working through it, and keep building on it in the community, all month.
Five days to a circle that's finally round. Both ways.
On the horse you've got, from your own arena.
Live October 1 to 5.
Five days, three obstacles, and a few real things to work on that are exactly what your horse needs.
