Safety just doesn’t happen from reading a book or watching YouTube videos. Horse people know that. Colorado is home to many fine clinicians and venues in which to train. This section will be updated as we learn about safety clinics hosted around the state. A key place where you can work with your horse without a clinician is the Friends of the Equestrian Skills Course in Colorado Springs. The course is the result of very hard work and commitment by devoted horse people who literally created a fantastic venue from nothing. It is a classic example of collaboration with local government.
