Trail and Obstacle Clinic

Full details and booking information on website: https://www.eddabney.com/clinic-trail.html

In this clinic, we will work on trail safety, emergency preparedness, interval, approaching other riders, passing other riders, trail etiquette, riding with vehicle traffic and negotiating obstacles.

We will work on horsemanship and riding skills that are vital to safe and enjoyable trail riding such as achieving good communication with your horse for independent movement of each of the horse's body parts, forward, backward and sideways in the head and neck, shoulders, ribs and hind quarter, speed and direction control at all gaits, gait transitions, solid stops, standing still to mount and teaching your horse to stand next to a log, rock or fence for you to use as a mounting block.

We will also cover how to deal with problems on the trail such as jigging, crowding, being spooky or distracted, run-aways, buddy sour, barn sour, and horses showing aggression toward other horses on the trail.
