Arena Obstacle Clinic YOUNG RIDERS with Darryn Gilham

  • Zia Park 8410 Stoneville Road Gidgegannup, WA, 6083 Australia (map)

Suitable for Novice and above riders 11 - 17 years, with their own or one of our horses. Presenter Darryn Gilham is an expert of Extreme Cowboy Racing and has many years’ experience training horses. Have you ever wondered, "Do I push my horse to accept the scary tarp, or do I let it stop to have a look?" Knowing when to reassure your horse, or when to push them through/past it, is the key to having a good experience. The aim of this clinic is to learn about the horse's flight behaviour, and they will be exposed to tarps, balloons, balls, swinging sticks, pool noodles, water, and more! There will be a mix of mounted, unmounted and groundwork sessions. Darryn will illustrate the importance of desensitization, and how we can all achieve a happier, quieter horse
