Gain a thorough understanding of the skills necessary for trail riding.

---

Many clinicians offer strong instruction in building a relationship with the horse but too often exclude safety concerns and teaching the skills necessary for safe and fulfilling use in the backcountry. They dont show students how to tie up a horses foot should you have to restrain him to pull porcupine quills, and they dont teach basic knots and hitches. Enter Dan Aadland, a seasoned equestrian and breeder who shares expertise gained from riding backroads and teaching clinics. Aadland first teaches students to understand the natural impulses of the horse and how to stay safe, a method he calls survival horsemanship. He then moves on to training both horse and rider in the basics of trail riding, including saddling, mounting with control, trail savvy, types of trails and obstacles, domestic and wild animal encounters, and staying cool in stressful situations. Other helpful topics covered include: Essential neck rein skillsElementary packingA mule primerSafe traileringLow-impact trail ridingAnd much more! With Train Your Horse for the Backcountry, riders will be ready for safe backcountry exploring in no time.
