Building on the Success of Our Trail Horse Test!
The response to the 2024 Labor Day PFHA Trail Horse Test has been overwhelmingly positive, with one key takeaway from participants standing out: They want more!
Many of our competitors expressed a desire for a more in-depth review of the curriculum, additional time to work through the exercises, and more opportunities to tackle the course obstacles. We’ve listened to this valuable feedback and are excited to announce that we are organizing a Trail Horse Clinic for 2025 to address these needs and elevate the overall experience!
The 2025 Trail Horse Clinic will be led by renowned clinician Tracy Porter, who will guide participants through a comprehensive, hands-on exploration of the Trail Horse Test curriculum. This clinic will provide a deeper dive into the techniques, strategies, and skills required to successfully navigate trail horse tests and obstacles. Our goal is to ensure that every participant, whether you’re new to the test or preparing to test for Senior or Master levels, is fully prepared and confident for future events.
This clinic will focus on building a strong foundation and boosting confidence, ensuring that participants are ready for another PFHA Trail Horse Test, which we’re considering for 2026. With extended time and focused training, participants will walk away with the tools they need to excel in their next challenge.
We are thrilled to offer this exciting opportunity for growth and learning, and we can’t wait to witness the progress and success of all our participants in 2025. This clinic is truly going to be a game-changer for the trail horse community!
