2008 Defensive Horsemanship Clinic

THIS IS MANDATORY—Janice Cartwright 579-3445
Our Gallatin Valley Backcountry Horseman will be sponsoring its second Defensive
Horsemanship clinic on Saturday, April 5th to
begin at 8:30am and last until 5:00.
This is a FREE clinic. It is not mandatory, but recommended that you bring your horse. This clinic is a requirement by the Forest Service for our members and friends who plan to volunteer their time on trail maintenance and be around stock. This is not for certification. There are pamphlets available for you to read and may be on hand at the general meeting or call Janice Cartwright 579-3445.
