Jack held a trail riding clinic at the beautiful 7IL ranch in Cat Spring, Texas last weekend. The students started out in the arena warming up and once Jack saw that they were prepared to ride out safely they headed out for the trail.It was a cool windy day and some of the horses were anxious and frisky so Jack had them play some games like leap frog while trotting, follow the leader and the ribbon find . Playing games to get them settled consumed most of the day. The next day the horses were a lot more relaxed and ready to work on water crossing,cantering away from the herd and trotting back to the herd. They spent time helping the horses get used to riding up and down in the varied terrain. Five out of the group of seven were riding in dressage saddles and it was great to see them using their dressage horses out on the trail. 7IL is a great place to practice trail skills and Jack plans to have more clinics here in the future. Everyone had a good time and said they would like to do a beach ride next so we are planning for this February or early March and will have the information on the website calendar when the date is picked.
