Emergency Information
Please note:
The horse you bring to a riding clinic must be able to walk, trot and canter/lope under saddle, and must be able to tolerate the presence of other horses. The more riding time on the horse, the better. If you have a choice of horses, please bring the horse you are most comfortable with and the one that is the most broke. What you learn in the class or clinic you will be able to take home and apply to all your other horses. Unbroke horses may be brought to a ground work session.
Do not bring a stallion.
It is understood that due to the nature of horse training and handling in general, accidents can occur. You are advised to wear a protective helmet for your own safety and to put protective boots on your horse.
All events are held at the Stroud Ranch unless otherwise noted.
