Scot Hansen is coming to the Washington DC area to present his Self-Defense for Trail Riders Clinics, on October 4th and 5th 2008. The TROTSAR Search & Rescue Mounted Team Inc. is hosting this event. Scot is a nationally known equine practitioner and has developed his clinic for trail riders who wanted to know how they could use their horse to defend against a human predator on the trail. It is a well-known fact that crime against persons have skyrocketed in local, state and federal parks throughout the country. Horseback riders need to be aware of the criminal element that prowls our bridle paths and riding trails. You as a trail rider need to be prepared to safely avoid or deal with such an encounter.

Each clinic is a three-hour session that teaches riders how to recognize predator behavior, how to avoid an attack, how to stay safely in the saddle if you are approached or assaulted, and how to teach your horse how to help you escape safely. The clinic is an amazing experience and a great way to learn some of the same techniques that mounted police officers use for crowd control. Scot [himself] presents the techniques in a non-threatening way that helps both people and horses learn progressively. This clinic also provides the riders with some real-life experience in a safe and friendly environment to see just how they would react and more importantly how their horse might react. The clinic is recommended for persons who are trail riders, members of mounted search and rescue teams or volunteer mounted patrol units.

Each clinic is limited to only 10 horse and riders per clinic, at a cost of $100 dollars per clinic. There will also be 10 slots available for those who wish the audit (without horse) at the cost of $25.00 dollars per clinic. Morning clinics begin at 9:00am and afternoon clinics begin at 1:30pm on both Saturday and Sunday. The clinics will be held in an indoor arena near Bryans Road Maryland (zip code 20616), which is approximately 30 minutes from (Old Town) Alexandria Virginia, via the Capital Beltway (exit 3 south) onto Indian Head Highway. Additional details and directions will be provided once payment is received. To request an online registration packet please email: <officers@trotsar.org>
