Due to the EHV-1 outbreak we have made the decision to postpone my clinic in December, until January 10th-11th with private lessons on the 9th. We feel this is the highest and the best for the horse community and this gives time for the outbreak to hopefully slow the spread.

We want to keep all of our horses healthy and well.

Dana Hokana has trained multiple World Champions, Reserve World Champion, and Bronze Champions at the AQHA World Show, NSBA World Show, AQHA Congress in Horsemanship, (city) Trail, Ranch Riding, Reining, Western Pleasure, Hunt Seat Equitation, and Hunter Under Saddle.

Dana’s keen ability to read and understand the horse and the rider is a true gift that she shares with the equine community.

Dana has developed a proven, time tested program that works with all disciplines and types of horses and riding. She will help you to excel and to build a long lasting horse, and a lasting relationship with your horse.

Dana does this for the love of the horse. She truly wants to help the horse enthusiasts achieve their goals and dreams.

Dana’s encouraging, easy to understand way of teaching focuses on humane training, with a strong emphasis on body control and understanding body mechanics, as well as teaching you the rider to read your horse and become a true partner with your horse.

Dana will teach you with personalized one-on-one help for you and your horse, no matter where you are at, or what your needs are. She can help you right where you are at. For those of you competing in patterns I will also have a special emphasis on performing the perfect pattern, IN ANY event.

Dana’s Clinics Teach the Fundamentals of Horsemanship For Any Level of Rider

You will learn about the body mechanics involved in your horses movement and gaits. You will learn how your riding and training can either hinder or damage your horses natural movement, or how you can improve, help and exonerate your horses natural movement. You will learn how to use your body, your seat, your legs, your hands and your rhythm to correctly ride your horse. We will deal with mental blockage including: fear, negative mindsets that get in the way or stop you from becoming that confident, positive, effective rider that you dream of becoming.

You will also learn how to use your hands correctly. As well as understanding the pick up and release, direction of pull, and pounds of pressure in your hands. Learning to ride mindfully is a huge goal that I have for you. You will learn about bits and bridles, riding one handed verses two handed. A key focus of the clinic will be developing body control on your horse. You will learn some fabulous body control exercises that will help strengthen and supple your horse. These body control exercises will improve your horses movement, responsiveness, willingness and range of motion. They will definitely take you to a whole new level. My clinic can be a life changing experience for you and your horse. Come join me at my next clinic and develop a happy, willing partnership with your horse, and excel like you never have before! 

See What Others Have to Say About A Clinic With Dana

“I started doing video lessons with Dana a couple years ago and was able to go to one of her clinics in Big Sky this spring.  It was such a great experience!  The one on one time with her was amazing.  I learned so much.  She’s such a supportive and genuine person.  I will definitely go to another one of her clinics.” – Montana Clinic Participant

Mady and Sally

If I had to use one word to describe Dana’s clinics, it would be transformational. To watch riders and horses come to the clinic with a problem to be solved, a goal to be reached, and with more questions than answers; and to witness the transformation at the end of the clinic is a sight to behold.

Our story. My daughter, 13 years old at the time she attended her first of Dana’s clinic in October, 2020. Her mare was broken and not in the way you want your horse to be broken. Her timing was off, she was anxious, she threw her head at every lope off, she was leaning, and just clumsy. Mady was hungry to get her horse defined, collected, calm, and finished.
