Horse clinic scheduled for Saturday

Published 12:00 am Wednesday, December 2, 2009

Do you ever have problems when riding your horse? Do you want to be more consistent in working with your horse?
A clinic sponsored by the Rowan Advisory Council for Equestrian (RACE) 4-H Clubs will be held Saturday at the Ellis Park Event Center, 2056 East Ridge Road, from 9 a.m. until noon.
Dr. Tim Potter, District Equine Specialist at North Carolina State University will present a clinic on groundwork maneuvers that can be practiced and performed with your horse. These exercises will greatly increase your success when riding; and your horse will perform at a higher level as a result of these exercises.
Shawn Potter of Shawn Potter Riding Instruction will present a clinic on clicker training. The clicker is used when training horses, and will greatly improve your consistency and your horse’s responses to training.
This clinic is open to both youth and adults. Registration fee is $5, which can be paid the morning of the clinic.
The clinic is open for auditors only.
