Painted Bar Stables will not be hosting any riding clinics in 2012. Please see this list for information on clinics at other local stables.

Afterwards from 3:30pm - 4:00pm we will be hosting a free discussion for all participants and auditors. This discussion group will allow us to talk about what was learned at the workshop.

Learn mounted police training techniques that encourage partnership and communication to achieve exceptional trust between rider and horse. Riders will work with their mounts in creative sensory and obstacle situations with the emphasis on introductory obstacle challenges using proven police horse training techniques.

Riders are expected to have basic control of their horse, including the ability to walk, trot, turn, and stop their horse on command. Workshops may have up to 12 horses; riders should be comfortable riding in large groups and in pairs. Horses participating in the workshop should have some out-of-arena experience and be free of dangerous vices (i.e. kicking). Helmets and appropriate footwear are required for all riders.

Auditors should feel free to bring their own chair for comfort while viewing.
