Ever wonder what a horse is thinking? Why he does what he does? Come explore horse psychology, learn about their personalities and how they communicate. Whether you would like to understand your horse better, or are just curious about these beautiful animals, we invite you to join us! Students are not allowed to bring their own horse, but there will be live demonstrations. Taught by Jacki Wilkins. Contact Jacki for enrollment.
Date: March 27, 2010. Tuition: $80 to bring your horse, $35 to watch.
Taught by Jim Wilkins. Limited to 6 riders! (This clinic has met the rider limit already!!! Since we have had so much interest, we will probably put on another cutting clinic this summer. If you wanted to ride, we hope that you will come to watch, and bring your horse to our next clinic! Thanks!) Riders must pre-enter, at least 5 days prier to the clinic. Starts at 9:00 a.m. In the morning, the riders will work their horses on our "flag" as Jim explains how to work a flag, positioning and how to keep their horses correct. Then lunch will be provided for everyone free of charge. After lunch, Jim (an AAA NCHA Judge) will go over a judge's sheet, explaining the point system and what a judge looks for. He will then judge a run, and explain what is expected of the turnback riders and herd holders. Then, one lucky person (either from the participants or the spectators) will win a cutting lesson on Jacki's show mare, Jae Bar Lil Jezabel! The clinic will finish with the riders working their horses on cattle!
Invites you to join us!! This club is designed of offer horse owners, and enthusiast, a place to grow in knowledge, get support, ideas, and inspiration from other local horsemen, and have fun!
