Clinics:

Drill Team/Formation Riding:

Saturday, September 22
9:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m.
Cost $60/rider

This is an advanced riding clinic for students to learn and perform maneuvers used by drill teams all over the country. Drill teams are intended to entertain audiences, show sportsmanship, horsemanship, teamwork, and dedication. This clinic will be taught and led by Coach Casady, and her friend and former rodeo drill team captain, Dennise Sanders. Space is limited for this clinic due to the availability of horses, and nature of the clinic. (8 students MAX, 4 ponies, 4 horses) We will begin the day with a brief introduction to the sport, followed by a demonstration. After the demonstration is complete, we will saddle up and practice! At 11:00, we will take a 30 minute lunch break, and finish with a simple choreographed routine.
