Trail Trials… the hottest sport on dirt!
Looking for new challenges for you and your horse? Looking for a way to establish a trusting relationship for you and your horse? Give Trail Trials a try!! This clinic is designed for those new to the sport. A CSHA trail trial is approximately a 3-5 hour trail ride with 8-10 judged obstacles along the way. Obstacles can be natural landscape like creek crossings, uphills, downhills or you may find yourself riding through a picnic area full of bouncing balls and running children if the trail trial is in an urban area..
Clinic to Cover
how obstacles are judged
how rules apply to obstacles
how you can improve your obstacle scores
improving your performance with your horse as a team
scoring you as you negotiate the course
all your questions!
****Practice your new skills at the Region 1 Trail Trial in Napa Skyline Park the next day****
