This weekend in Salem, OH

A collaborative clinic at Shenanigans Stables in Carrollton, Ohio brings together movement, brain science, and connection to help horses and riders progress with clarity and confidence. Jec Aristotle Ballou, an author and clinician known for equine fitness and performance, leads in-hand and under-saddle sessions that target posture and balance, strength development, straightness and coordination, ground pole work, and practical application in the saddle. Riders work in a mix of semi-private and larger group formats and receive strategies tailored to their individual horses, including solutions for stiffness, heaviness, or crookedness. Each morning begins with a concise, interactive segment from Jenn Currie, creator of Brain-Centered Horsemanship, exploring how the equine brain learns movement. Topics include keeping horses out of survival mode, understanding why certain tasks feel easier or harder, using patterns and predictability to build confidence, and supporting the horse mentally while learning new skills. This foundation helps set up a calm and connected training day. Wendy Shaffer, a Masterson Method Certified Practitioner and body language specialist, adds focused guidance on reading subtle signs in posture and expression, recognizing how tension appears in motion, and applying simple techniques that encourage relaxation. Throughout the clinic she helps riders interpret what their horses communicate and supports their comfort as the work progresses. Participants gain a complete picture of how the horse moves, why it moves that way, and what promotes better movement both physically and mentally. Riders are $550 for the weekend. Auditors are $65 per day or $100 for the weekend. Stalls are available through the host facility. Only 12 rider spots are available.

Saturday Social is an easygoing, café-style gathering for thoughtful faith conversations in a calm, inviting setting. It offers unhurried space to slow down, connect with others, and reflect together. Participants may choose to share, listen, or simply be present, with a focus on nurturing genuine community.

At Skydive Rick's, the Instructor-Assisted Deployment First Jump Course introduces beginners to solo skydiving. IAD uses a USPA licensed instructor to start parachute deployment as the student exits the aircraft. After approximately 4 to 6 hours of ground instruction, first-time jumpers, with instructor assistance, climb out and exit on their own, and the canopy opens right away at about 3,500 feet. Students then fly the parachute to the landing area with radio guidance. This course is the first step toward earning a skydiving license.
