Obstacles and Trail Clinic at Bar T Horsemanship
Join Bar T Horsemanship for their annual Obstacles and Trail Clinic on Sat, May 16, 9am-4pm. This year, they are combining these two clinics. A few of the challenges they will address include:
- Buddy sour/herd sour horses.
- Rider confidence.
- Crossing water.
- Gait transitions from walk/trot to canter/lope.
- Jigging on the trail.
- Standing on a loose rein.
- Following too close.
- Speed control.
- Softness in the horse’s body.
In addition to the obstacle field, they will include some obstacles on the trail. The fee is $275, and the clinic is limited to eight participants.
Clinics start promptly at 9am. The property opens at 8am, so please arrive early to settle in and have your horse cared for. They usually start with a meet-and-greet on the barn deck, then proceed to tack and ride, depending on the clinic. All clinics include a hearty lunch with drinks and dessert. They have limited facilities to board your horse overnight if you are planning on attending a multiple-day clinic. They also have trailer hookups if you plan to spend the night.
All clinics are for every discipline, every kind of horse, and any skill level rider! Clinics will be held at the Bar T Horsemanship facility in northern Chatham County, off Hwy 87 (730 Pete Thomas Road, Pittsboro, NC). To reserve your spot, please register by emailing [email protected] with the following information:
- Your full name.
- Your contact phone number.
- Your horse’s name.
- Your horse’s age.
- Number of years of riding experience.
- Riding experience level.
