Rockbridge Hunt

Foxhunting Clinic

Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 10 am at Broadview Ranch

This is a mounted clinic. Anyone with an interest in foxhunting is welcome! We'll split into groups appropriate for a variety of riders and horses.

We have clinicians with a lot of experience in training both horses and riders. Diane Long has more than 30 years of experience training horses for show, pleasure, racing, and hunting. She has introduced many horses and riders to riding cross-country and hunting. Alex Bobbitt of Stony Lonesome Farm is an established trainer who has helped a variety of riders including grand prix jumper riders, FEI dressage, professional eventers as well as veterinarians and judges. He uses techniques drawn from all areas of horsemanship focuses on instilling willingness and trust in horses. Additional clinicians are available if necessary.

You may ride in a session with either Diane or Alex or a session with each. We'll finish the day with a mock hunt or trail ride. For each session, we'll divide the group based on each horse and rider's level of preparedness.

We are asking for pre-registration. We must know how many people plan to attend. And this is your chance to tell us about specific problems you'd like to address. We'll group riders into sessions based on their experience and goals. Just send an email to Cindy Morton, mortonc@wlu.edu. Thank you.

Helmets, a signed waiver and a copy of current negative coggins are required. Juniors are required to have a copy of the waiver signed by their parents. The waiver is on the website as a PDF at RockbridgeHunt.org.
