Keeping Kentucky's trails clean, friendly, and open for all riders, hikers, and bikers is the responsibility of all users. An educational seminar on trail etiquette for the horseback rider will be offered by the Kentucky Horse Council, September 19, 2009, at Brumfield Hay & Grain in Lexington, KY.
The presentation includes safety tips for managing group rides, riding with horses of various gaits, ages, and abilities, and supporting the needs of the novice rider. Presented by Essie Rogers, Director of Education, the training has information appropriate for all ages, levels and abilities.
"Recreational trail riding is a great way to get outdoors and exercise. By ensuring safety first and following a few guidelines it's easy to create enjoyable memories and build confidence for horses, riders, and land managers," explained Madelyn Millard, KHC Board President.
The one hour course which begins at 11 a.m. is free and open to the public.
