This interactive clinic will focus on building confidence, communication, and practical skills needed to navigate real-world trail scenarios and common obstacles safely and successfully. Selected rider-and-horse pairs will work through trail and obstacle elements while demonstrating techniques for improving responsiveness, balance, and trust. Horses of various experience levels are welcome, as the clinic is designed to be educational, encouraging, and adaptable to each pair’s needs.
