The Front Range Back Country Horsemen group is offering a DeSpook Clinic event for members! If not yet a member join NOW! Join us for an afternoon of learning and navigating your horses through unfamiliar situations and scary objects. Clinic introduces horses to a variety of stimuli to include; sound conditioning, noisy objects, tarps, balloons, etc. This experience allows a horse of any age to accept guidance and safety when the unexpected happens!

· Clinic Instructor: Sharron Pizzuto

Sharron has had the pleasure of working with Mounted Patrol Officer, Mr. Roger Kyle. She enjoyed his methods of teaching new and challenging obstacles to horses and their riders. She now has conducted many clinics of her own.

Sharron is a firm believer in the trust partnership we develop with our horses and continues to work with horses to gain confidence on the trail.

Today is an introduction to you and your horse on ways you can learn together and prepare for a few new experiences you may encounter on the trail!

You are encouraged to request help with certain situations that has caused your horses to spook. Request or bring any objects, such as strollers, bikes, back packs etc. Please make these requests at least a week before to allow time to accommodate your needs.

Clinic participants are limited to 20 riders and horses. So, reserve your spot ASAP, it will fill up fast!

Plan to bring water and a snack (or lunch) for both you and your trusty steed!
