FHBCH offers trail riding clinic Aug. 19 

HARRODSBURG – Fort Harrod Back Country Horsemen (FHBCH) will help horsemen prepare for autumn trail riding by hosting “How to Develop a Trustworthy Trail Horse” at Saturday, Aug. 19 at Big Red Stables and led by certified instructor and national clinician Charmaine Kern. The clinic will address individual concerns and challenges in small groups on the trail and will address these common issues, such as: water phobia, leadership anxiety; jigging/spooking; poor trail etiquette; and riding hills and unstable terrain.  

The clinic costs $40 per horse/rider and ride times will be determined based on the number of riders registered, with riders notified. The session is a follow-up to the trail safety and spook-proofing clinics FHBCH hosted earlier.

Riders must register in advance, with proof of a negative coggins required the day of the ride. Big Red Stables is located at 1605 Jackson Pike, Harrodsburg. For more information or to register, contact Lois Short at (859) 612-1624.
