"My daughter Emily and I went to a Nicole Aichele Barrel Racing Clinic this weekend, for three days in Fallon Nevada. We wanted to let everyone know what a special gift Nicole Aichele has for teaching. No matter if you are a beginner or if you have been doing it for awhile, her techniques are for everyone. I was so impressed with her dedication and devotion to teaching others. Her patience and knowledge are incredible! By the third day of the clinic she had my daughter and her horse going around the barrels as one. I'm so excited for my daughter Emily to take what she has learned from Nicole and move forward to her dream of becoming a barrel racer. Nicole, God has given you a special gift for teaching. I just wanted to say it was fun to watch!"

I attended the Nicole Aichele clinic September 29-October 30th 2016. I have been riding all of my life and running barrels for 36 years. I have attended clinics along the way barrel racing as well as other western disciplines. Before this clinic I was really feeling stuck with my mare. She was stiff in her turns and would cut off the back of the barrels. She also acted uninterested and anxious regarding running barrels. Despite years of work and patience I was thinking about giving up on the idea of running barrels on her due my lack of success in figuring out how to help her. Nicole is truly amazing. She was instrumental in figuring out what to work on in order to correct the mistakes we were both making. She is patient, eloquent, and well spoken which demands respect and learning. She was also teamed up with Jeff Moore who is incredibly knowledgeable in equinerehab.. Jeff was easily able to recognize that my mare is having difficulty crossing over in the hind end due to a weak stifle and will greatly benefit from strengthening exercises. Jeff was very insightful and is gifted in working with horses. By the end of the clinic my mare was making a lot of improvements and seemed more confident. I feel that I more out of Nicole's clinic than I have any other. I am so excited to continue this journey and feel confident in what the future holds for us. Thank you so much to Nicole and Jeff and praise be to God!

Nicole is a patient teacher beyond her years. She does an excellent job of breaking down and explaining what she is teaching and why. This allows you and your horse to see results and improvement while at the clinic. I felt like she treated everyone as equals no matter what level rider or horse they brought. I was happy to see everyone getting their fair share of attention. I would highly recommend attending one of her clinics!! I feel blessed to have met such a kind spirit and excellent horse women! I look forward to the next time Nicole is in our area!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed Nicole Aichele’s barrel clinic. I have a lot of respect for how she handles horses. Nicole is very calm and humble. She is able to work with riders at all different levels. Her teaching method is straight forward but not harsh. Nicole is approachable and open to questioning. She never appears to get frustrated. I really appreciate the fact that Nicole does not rush the horse or rider yet helps build confidence. I would definitely attend another one of Nicole’s clinics.

"I am hoping that I can put in to words how wonderful Nicole's clinic was. I began the clinic with a four year old filly that I started myself. I, personally, have no experience on barrels at all and started this journey with my filly in hopes that I will be able to futurity. I ran my filly on the pattern the first day of the clinic and Nicole knew exactly what I needed to work on. She not only helped me during the clinic, but, she helped my filly as well. I saw this with all of girls and their horses. I appreciate Nicole's common sense horsemanship; which is very hard to come by. She took everyone down to the foundation skills and built us up from there. The foundation skills we were taught will assist us through our entire careers. We all received plenty of one on one time and were pushed at the speed that we and our horses required. Nicole kept the pattern very simple and the way she taught was extremely effective. She also created an action plan for each of us to follow after the clinic ended. It was the best thing I could have done for myself and my filly. It was a wonderful weekend of fellowship, friendship, and horsemanship."

"I have always wanted to get into barrel racing and recently purchased a colt with great potential. I was very hesitant to attend any clinic with a two-year-old colt who only had 60 days on him along with my inexperience in barrel racing. Nicole assured me that her format was for all experience levels of horses and riders. I was hopeful hearing this, but also hesitant, as some people might just want you there to fill a spot and make money. I decided to take the gamble and haul my colt the 325 mi one way to attend her clinic. I was amazed at Nicole’s down to earth nature and her love of passing on her knowledge to anyone willing to listen. Her clinic format is truly designed for all experience levels of horses and riders alike. I would encourage anyone of any caliber that would like to sharpen their skills of just learn the ropes to attend Nicole’s clinic. I went away with the knowledge, reference material and contact information to kick start my dream of barrel racing. Attending Nicole’s clinic was one of the best investments of my horse training experiences by a longshot. She is not only an amazing horsewoman but an amazing person inside and out that anyone can learn from. Her enthusiasm for the sport of barrel racing and doing it with the mindset of keeping your horse as top priority is one that should be shared by many. I look forward to watching her career take off and hopeful to attend another clinic in the future."

I recently attended a Nicole Aichele barrel racing clinic. I was hesitant to go since it was over 300 miles away and I had already been to several barrel clinics over the years. My four year old horse was just starting to get fluid on the pattern and I was looking for some advice and another opinion on how to help her advance in a positive manner. We had a small group at the clinic and various levels of riding ability, Nicole was able to help each one of us at the level we each needed. After three days of instruction I came away with new friends and the knowledge on how to help my mare become a competitive horse in today's barrel racing world. Nicole is exceptional with the horses and riders. She was very patient, caring and persistent. She helped me to understand exactly what it was she was trying to show us. It was a privilege to have her help me with my mare. I would recommend Nicole's clinics to all level of riders.

Brought my daughter to Nevada for Nicole's clinic. She was so wonderful with all the participants. My daughter learned so much from her not only about her horse but herself too. She came away a more confident rider who understands her role in caring for her horse on a much greater level. Her pattern is cleaner and her confidence is higher. Thank you Nicole for all you did, you truly made a difference to my daughter.
