Bedford County Horse Camp

Hi everyone,

This past weekend some members from Team Horse Power West helped with Bedford County horse camp by using the "On the Road to the Horsemanship Skills" program. The station I was in charge of was "Turning while Walking". You may think that this skill is a piece of cake, however there are many small things that alot of riders need to improve on. For example, many riders tend to look down when they are asking their horse to turn out of habit. Remember, you need to have your eyes looking ahead so you are aware of your surroundings! The riders enjoyed each of the different booths and I can't wait to use this program again as a teaching tool.

  1. How did you set that station up? Was it just walk a straight line, turn around, and come back?
