Subject: [MSAR] TROTSAR Mounted Team to host Self Defense for Trail Riders clinics Oct. 4 & 5
Date: Fri, 09 May 2008 23:44:55 -0400
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>
