  
Trail Ride Clinics
|
Trail
ride clinics are an opportunity to apply horsemanship skills in the real
world with the support of a like minded group. Our trail riding philosophy
is that the whole group is there to support the horse/rider who is having
trouble with a particular situation. Learn how to introduce your horse to
obstacles in a way that builds confidence. Learn what you can do to help
your horse negotiate a variety of terrain. Learn how to deal with herd
dynamics when riding in a group. Enjoy a scenic ride at a comfortable
relaxed pace.
Trail Rides are for
people who have previously attended TF, T1, T2 clinics or taken private
lessons, will be held on even dated Tuesdays throughout the 2008 year.
Enjoy great vistas on trail rides.

Develop precise
control of your horse by working through trail obstacles in an arena
setting. Learn how to use maneuvers like turning on the forehand, turning
on the haunches, side passing, backing, and backing circles for opening
gates, or negotiating walk/back through. Get your horse used to walking
over bridges, tarps, and water. Desensitize your horse to “spooky”
obstacles.
