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.
