Driving The Single Horse 101

  • Epona Equestrian Center 4228 Springhill Community Road Belgrade, MT, 59714 United States (map)

If you missed my spring intro / demo clinic, here’s another opportunity for you to learn about driving the single horse! With only 3 participants driving at a time, you will get plenty of one-on-one instruction!

If you have ever wanted to learn to drive, or are a beginner / novice driver, this one-day clinic will introduce you to:

  • Harnessing, understanding function of the harness and proper adjustment

  • Hitching the single horse, correct adjustment of horse and cart and understanding the importance of it

  • Line and whip handling and understanding communication with our horse

  • Using patterns and obstacles, we will work on driving with focus and precision.

  • How loss of forward motion and loosing connection through the lines impacts your driving.

  • The difference between “driving” your horse around a corner and “pulling” him around the corner.

  • The role of the helper / header

  • You will be hands on harnessing / unharnessing and hitching / unhitching “your” horse

  • You and your “partner” will take turns driving

  • Handout included

Horses and carts will be provided, and 2 students will share one experienced horse.
