Police Horse Pros provides two and three day sensory and safety seminars.
These seminars introduce the rider to the HORSE SENSORY TRAINING SYSTEM concepts.
Riders learn concepts of SPACE, POSITION AND MOVEMENT through groundwork, equitation and resistance free sensory courses.
Horse and rider teams face and conquer such obstacles as smoke, flares, the "car wash," trash pit, and the six foot ball, to name just a few of the items.
Police Horse Pros now offers defensive tactics from horseback as part of their basic seminars.
This all important class provides riders with the tools necessary to not become a victim while out trail riding.
All classes are team taught by two to four instructors.
The number of instructors is dependent on the number of students.
Class sizes are limited to 24 riders.
All successful participants are awarded a certificate at the end of the seminar.
