Upcoming Events
"Joining Up with Your Horse" Clinic
Sunday, Nov. 1, 2009
11:00 am until 2:00pm
Penny Reining's arena
Beaver Run Road

There will be a free clinic given by
Penny Reining on "Joining Up With Your Horse". It will be held in Penny's covered arena located just off of route 191
in Lake Ariel, Pa. on November 1st, 2009 from 11 AM until 2 PM.
The reason for Joining Up is to create a bond with your horse which may be the most important
part of training and showmanship. Gaining trust in your horse means he won't fight you, if he does not fight you he
will be easier to train and work with therefore making him a better horse. Or maybe you just want to be closer
with your horse. Joining Up may be able to help you calm your friend and make life easier. (as well as less painful
and less frustrating!).
This clinic will be free for all KMHC members, we just ask that you bring "finger food" for
the noon time break. Please contact Sandy Gambuti at sgambuti@socantel.net or phone at (570) 488-6264 to see what you can bring for the snack break.
