Obstacle Play Day With Jody Marken
Build trust and confidence with your horse and yourself — on the ground and in the saddle — through positive, fun, and safe communication. All horses and disciplines are welcome, whether green, young, or seasoned. Spend this half-day with your horse at beautiful Two Spruce Farm! Jody’s clinics offer an individualized, supportive format where you set the pace and level of challenge. It’s not just about the obstacle — it’s about the approach, the communication, the try, and everything in between.
Jody Marken owns and operates Two Spruce Farm, where she offers horsemanship and groundwork lessons, jumping instruction, and clinics aimed at building confident horse-and-rider partnerships. With decades of experience across hunter/jumper, dressage, eventing, and Western disciplines, Jody is a lifelong student of the horse who continues to grow her practice through ongoing study and mentorship.
