USEA FEH Jump Chute Clinic

USEA FEH Jump-Chute Clinic with Martin Douzant
Loch Moy Farm in Adamstown, MD
September 24, 2021

MORNING SLOTS ONLY!!

The clinic is open to horses of all ages and is intended to be an introduction for young horses to practice free-jumping in a jump chute. The setup will be similar to the chute that will be used in USEA Future Event Horse Championships.

Free-jumping is a wonderful way to evaluate the potential of a young horse over fences. It is also an effective and positive way to introduce a young horse to jumping without the guidance or distraction of a rider. Not only is free-jumping good for young horses, it is also beneficial for mature horses to keep them quick on their feet and to remind them how to take care of themselves when needed.

***To register: The total cost for the jump chute clinic will be $80 per horse, for a 20 minute session.

This year's beneficiary is the Maryland Equine Transition Service. The Maryland Equine Transition Service (METS) is a statewide equine safety net initiative of the Maryland Horse Council Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, that provides safe alternatives for horses needing homes by helping owners identify and select the best transition options for their horses. METS provides equine assessment, marketing services and applicant screening to help make the best match between horses and new homes. They also provide assistance to owners in need of end-of-life assistance when rehoming is not an option. METS will have a booth near the office with information, donation options, and swag for sale.
