    PIB (Pferde in Balance) Clinic with Carolin Moldenhauer

    Shade Tree Stables, 9 N Alton St, Freeburg
    See details

    Carolin Moldenhauer brings her Pferde in Balance approach to Illinois for Clinic II at Deanna Preis Horsemanship at Shade Tree Stables. This chapter continues the journey begun in Clinic I, focusing on staying on course through integration, flow, and loopy training. The emphasis is on working with what emerges over time while preserving connection, clarity, and comfort between horse and human. Participants work with their own horses and receive in-person coaching that turns training theory into practice and addresses individual challenges. The aim is to outline clear, logical steps that support a horse mentally, physically, and emotionally, giving riders confidence to carry the work forward at home. Spectators can observe the development of each horse and rider as they are guided through the exercises. Topics include slipping in and out of exercises with feel, applying touch-and-go and loopy training ideas, advancing without drilling or holding too long, and helping horses remain at ease while developing greater self-carriage and responsibility. The clinic builds timing and flow, and offers practical ways to find balance again and again. An anticipated structure features a welcome followed by a series of 30 minute participant lessons and a midday theory talk on the first day. The second day typically opens with a discussion session, continues with 45 minute lessons, includes a lunch Q&A, then wraps up with further coaching. Clinic II can be taken on its own and is especially meaningful as part of the broader arc that includes Clinic I.

Her shows mix spark and closeness, drawing a loyal community of Steadheads, and her upcoming project The Orchid, recorded in Key West, highlights the next chapter of her sound. Eric Erdman arrives as a guitar slinging troubadour whose thoughtful, playful lyrics land with easy hooks. His songwriting credits include the theme for Drag Race High, Stone’s Throw recorded by the Red Clay Strays and heard on their Moments to Remember and Live at The Ryman albums as well as on the CBS series The Road, and Caddo County with Dave Cobb and the Red Clay Strays on the Grammy and AMA nominated Twisters soundtrack. His honors include Mobile Arts Council Musical Artist of the Year in 2026, a long run as Lagniappe Awards Solo Musician of the Year from 2010 through 2024, Southland Music Line Musician of the Year in 2021, and multiple TRMA awards including co-writing The Wave and Family Tree. James Adkins rounds out the bill with songs rooted in folk, bluegrass, and roots traditions, delivered with seasoned musicianship on guitar, mandolin, or bass. Based in Ohio and performing for more than two decades, he has played rooms and festivals across the Eastern United States, writes with the kind of insight that resonates with listeners who appreciate storytellers like John Prine, Gillian Welch, and Jason Isbell, and is steadily widening his reach throughout the Southeast.
