Jumping 101 Workshop- Tuesday, March 27, 2018
This workshop is a popular and important one, which is why we run it annually. This workshop benefits riders seeking further understanding of the phases in a horse's jump, distances to a fence, proper course set-up, and elements for a successful ride. Through discussion and practical exercises, riders will leave with the tools they need to safely set up their own courses for practice, and understand the theory behind the horse's jump.
This 1.5 hour workshop costs $25, HST included, with participants receiving a take home guide. This workshop is designed for riders 8 yrs and older and will run from 6:30 p.m.-8 p.m.
