Join Us for the Winning Ways Clinic sponsored by the Department of Animal
Science and the Pennsylvania Quarter Horse Association. The 28th annual clinic
will be held on March 8 at Penn State's Snider Agricultural arena.
Pre-registration for reduced rates is due by March 4.
This year's clinic focuses on the development of the young horse
and includes practical, hands-on information useful for horses and riders at
all stages of training. The program includes:
- Lecture/demonstration format
- Developing handling and riding skills for youth and
adults at all levels
- Topics: ground handling and lunging, starting the
horse under saddle, work on leads, early collection of the horse, and
showing the young horse.
- Techniques discussed will be relevant for all types of
riding.
- Tips and methods to improve you and your horse
- Questions & Discussion – Answers to your questions
and suggestions for handling problems, changes and challenges for you or
your horse
The featured clinicians are Mark Smith, Instructor at the
University of Findlay and Brian Egan, Instructor of Equine Science at Penn
State. Both are highly experienced and well regarded for their work with young
horses and teaching techniques for youth and adults.
A tack and clothing sale and visits to the Penn State horse farm
are also available. Participants will be able to see the Penn State Quarter Horse
herd as well as horses to be offered for sale in May.
