In
addition to the "Hoss Logic" PHD method of training, I also teach gaited
horse clinics across the USA. These are primarily problem solving
clinics which can include information on bits, some round pen work and
a horse shoeing workshop. Participants, gaited horse owners and riders,
are asked to answer a questionaire in advance of the clinic as to
what they would like to learn from the instructor. Then, as the clinician,
I tailor my lessons to fit the needs and questions of these participants.
These clinics are not the same as the "Hoss Logic" Practical Horsemanship
Training workshops taught to students in the "Hoss Logic" PHD training
program.
Among the topics which have been discussed im my gaited clinics are :
1) methods of achieving the proper gait from the horse by riding
properly,
2) my philosophy of breeding, when to geld,
3) overview of imprinting techniques, good techniques in round
pen training,early ground training for young colts,
4) ways to train outside of a round pen that work and trail horse
training,
5) the relationship of bits to gait, how the different bits are
designed to work, and the importance of using the right bit.
5) horse history and tales from old timers, older horses
6) hoof and health care maintenance programs,
7) hoofmanship for the layman, is your farrier doing the job you
have asked him to do,
8) how to tell if your horse hooves are trimmed to be level,
9) shoeing for gait.
10) Be kind to your horse
These are just some of the topics likely to be covered in my gaited horse clinics. These clinics are designed to be informative, entertaining, and supportive. If any of these subjects interest you, you may wish to participate in a Bob Blackwell Gaited Clinic to get aquainted with general information on these subjects.
However, if you want more detailed knowledge and a deeper understanding of these and other subjects you may wish to participate in a Bob Blackwell "Hoss Logic" Practical Horsemanship Training and/or Hoofmanship (shoeing)training facility or workshop. If there are none in your area you may wish to request and coordinate one for your area. For information in participation about these clinics or workshops or to coordinate a workshop for your area using this method contact Bob Blackwell:
