Riding Camp Instructors' Horsemanship Safety Program
- College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources
- UConn Health
The Riding Camp Instructor’s Horsemanship Safety Clinic course is intended for Riding Camp instructors who will be instructing campers in any phase of horsemanship. This includes camps that own or lease horses, utilize campers’ horses, or contract with a neighborhood stable for horses. This clinic would also be beneficial to camp directors hiring horse staff or purchasing horses, tack, or equitation services. Camp staff working with horses need to be aware of safety. This clinic is a good refresher for anyone interested in safety as well. Information discussed will include helmet safety, fire safety, tack selection, fitting, care and problems, selection of horses, equine first aid, liability, horse handling safety, and mounted instruction. This is a self-study course that will be available until September 1. You may register for and complete this course during the available course dates.
