Trail Obstacle ClinicSaturday | 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
This clinic is designed as a structured, educational training session focused on developing practical trail skills outside of the arena environment.
Participants will work through a progressive series of obstacles that address:
• Correct body control and positioning
• Responsiveness to seat, leg, and rein aids
• Straightness, softness, and forward intent
• Mental composure in new environments
• Clear, effective communication between horse and rider
Obstacles are intentionally selected to evaluate and improve foundational training principles — not simply to “get through” the obstacle, but to execute it correctly with balance and understanding.
Young or green horses are welcome, and exercises may be completed in-hand or under saddle depending on the training level. All disciplines are encouraged to participate.
