Has anyone been to a Landsafe clinic? There’s one near me in August that I’m considering and I’d love to hear feedback!

I’ve not been, but am friends with someone that always hosts one or two a year for their lesson kids and clients and raves about them.
I’d do it, but with my neck issues…I don’t need to hurt myself practice falling 
A barn near me does them and they’re very popular.
The ones near me are quite spendy, but I don’t know if that’s Landsafe or the host facility.
I am no longer eligible to participate because of age, but I would like to audit.
Hunter rider here. I attended because I wanted to work on fall technique and confidence after an injury.
I recommend it! It’s quite a rigorous weekend, and you will spend a lot of time upside down. Make sure to take some Dramamine. Exercises are progressive and you will get tons of practice.
I have since made use of the techniques in a fall and they do help to keep you safe. Hoping to take a refresher this year.
Good luck, and let us know if you attend!

I worry that I’d be sore for months after one of these clinics!

We have hosted a Landsafe clinic, and I highly recommend them. It may seem expensive, but they have exceptional equipment to really help you learn how to fall. I couldn’t participate due to a non-riding injury, but audited the whole thing. What was really amazing was seeing the difference in the participants from the beginning of day one to the end of day two. The progressive exercises really had an impact on how riders reacted to a fall.

Thanks all! Sounds like it’s a worthwhile weekend.
My husband did the clinic a couple years ago and loved it. He was by far the oldest there but said it was definitely worth going. Yes, he was quite sore for several days afterwards but said it was worth it. He highly recommends anyone that rides to go to the clinic and learn if you have the opportunity.
How long does it “stick” for? I can completely understand how much you could improve in a weekend. However, unless you’re popping off a few times a year does the muscle memory really stick if you bounce once or twice a decade?
