The TROTSAR Mounted Search & Rescue Team is proud to host Self Defense for Trail Riders clinics taught by Scot Hansen. Scot is a nationally known equine practitioner and has developed the clinic for trail riders who wanted to know how they could use their horse to defend against a human predator on the trail. The clinic fee is $100; auditors are $25. Clinics will be held on October 4th and 5th with 2 sessions available each day in Bryans Road, Maryland. The clinic flyer, application form and required waivers can be obtained online at the TROTSAR Mounted Team website at <www.trotsar.org>. Each clinic is limited to only 10 riders, with early registration recommend to secure the clinic of your choice.

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. 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.

Ride Safe,

Tmi
