Trail Practicum – Spring 2015
In this practicum, you will develop safe techniques for trail riding, ride the UConn trail system,
become comfortable outside the arena and learn best practices for trail riding including how to follow
trail markings. We may have some wildlife sightings! On past trail rides we have seen deer and owls.
In inclement weather, you will work on equitation, negotiate various trail obstacles or play gymkhana
games in the indoor arena. Indoor riding time will be one hour. Please plan to arrive at the horse barn
15-20 minutes prior to riding to get your horse ready so that we can head out on the trail promptly at
9:00 AM. Actual riding time on trail days will be one and a half hours. Participants should have
intermediate or higher riding experience and may ride English or Western.
No sneakers or sandals, boots with a heel should be worn. Long pants are a must. Registration will
be on a first come, first served basis, space is limited to 7 participants.
