Equine Clinics   

Attend our Open House and learn all about ACC's Equine Training and Management Program.  Does the Spanish California/Nevada tradition spark your interest? Then, this Open House is for you!  This free information session is led by our lead instructor, Damian Ficca.

Damian Ficca is a Denver native who has worked horses throughout the western United States. He is one of a select group of individuals who specialize in traditional western training, with roots in the Spanish-California/Nevada horse training methods. A former Animal and Agricultural Sciences teacher, Mr. Ficca combines extensive knowledge and experience with a love for horses.

Build trust and improve communication between you and your horse leading to a stronger bond and better relationship. Become “in balance” with your equine partner through understanding and insight into the nature and way of the horse. Joining Up with your horse offers several benefits. It will help establish respect and leadership while also improving your horse’s focus, responsiveness, and obedience. Additionally, it can be a great way to work on groundwork and improve your horsemanship skills leading to better overall training and partnership with your horse. Clinician, Damian Ficca, leads participants in the art and method of Joining Up.

The clinic will teach participants about Primal Instincts, Ancient Traits, Horses and People, Partnership Development, Actions That Speak Louder Than Words and then The Join Up Begins.

Clinic participants will have the opportunity to personally join up with a horse during the clinic and experience the bond that can be established with our equine companions.
