What you come to learn

This is what
resilience looks like.

And how to build it into your horse. A resilient horse still feels the pressure. It can meet something hard, stay with you, and come back down quickly afterwards.

It is not built by avoiding everything hard, and it is not built by pushing a horse through it. It is built in small steps, with a warning first and a way out second. Come and learn how, with your own horse or watching from the side.

    Swartvlei: two-day horsemanship clinic

    21 Nov – 22 Nov · Swartvlei Guest Farm, Garden Route

    See everything about this clinic

    Two days on three things: horsemanship, resilience and liberty. Bring the behaviour you are stuck with. Day one, read your horse: where the worry starts, and what it does before the problem. Day two, build on it, with you doing the work and Ray coaching you. Come for one day or stay for both. Both days costs far less than two single days, with your own horse or watching from the side.

    • Horsemanship
    • Resilience
    • Liberty
    • Both days cost less

From the last clinic

In their words.

Said on camera, and in the group that evening, after the Cape Town clinic of 26 September 2026.

  • It was wonderful to spend an entire day just both learning from doing but also learning from watching... I think he’s giving us the tools that we can practice when he’s not around.

    Gina Participant, with Roman

  • One of the most important things that I learnt was just how Rynhardt shows you always to keep everything light... even when the horses get very up and busy and excited and triggered he just stayed super light and gentle the whole time and they just came right back down.

    Siri Cape Town clinic

  • It was really worth it... it was also learning of other horses, because they’re all different, and how the handlers or riders or owners also do the techniques. So it was both from Rynhardt and the horses and the people. And the questions.

    Bridget Cape Town clinic

  • I kind of thought when I saw this from afar that it’s not relevant to me because I’m like coming back into riding after 30 years... I can see the value for both her and me.

How the day works

A group day.
Your own sessions.

It is a group clinic, and the work is one-on-one. Each participant gets their own sessions with Ray and their horse, while everyone else watches and learns from them. Then you watch theirs.

  • Your session: you, your horse and Ray
    Your session: you, your horse and Ray
  • Everyone else watches, close enough to hear every word

  • Each step explained as it happens

  • Coaching the person as much as the horse

  • Every horse is different, and you learn from all of them
    Every horse is different, and you learn from all of them

With your horse

Take a participant place. You get your own one-on-one sessions with Ray on your own horse, and you watch everyone else’s.

Without a horse

Take an auditor place. Watch every session up close, notebook in hand, and ask your questions.

What you leave with

Riders leave with a plan. Auditors leave seeing their own horse differently.

How a clinic day works

What to expect

Your session
is yours.

The day is open on purpose. You bring what you and your horse need, and Ray works on that with you. It could be any of these.

  • Ray working a pinto horse loose in a round pen, the horse lifting off its front feet

    Liberty work

    Working with your horse loose, with no rope, so the conversation rests on attention and not on equipment.

  • Ray crouched beside a bay horse on a loose rope in the arena

    Foundational groundwork

    Everyday handling and the basics everything else rests on: forwards, backwards, sideways, and standing still.

  • Ray explaining with one hand on a rope, a bay horse beside him

    Advancing your horsemanship

    For the owner who wants to go further: reading your horse sooner, and getting more from asking less.

  • Ray kneeling with a soft rope in his hand beside a grey horse

    Clarity with your horse

    Cleaner asks and better-timed releases, so your horse knows exactly what you mean.

Not sure what your horse needs? That is a good place to start too.

Who is teaching

Calm,
where it counts.

Ray is a safari guide, a trainer and a farrier. Before the clinics there were years of riding horses among lions and elephants, where a horse that cannot settle is not an option.

“I have known Reinhardt 12 years and have worked with him with wild elephants. He will literally blow you away... and you'll have to convince your horse to go back home with you.”
