Windrock Farm Clinic

After schooling all the horses through the obstacle course, we went on a hack to cool the horses down.  Many of the horses did not like the tarp initially, but everyone was successful at working through all he obstacles….including walking under a tarp, over a tarp, over logs, through hanging plastic bottles, backing around a tree, and various cross country jumps.  These are excellent exercises to improve your communication with your horse.  Jumpers, Dressage and Event horses improve each day.
