Clinics

Edie and John presented the fourth "Basic Horse Handling for Emergency Professionals" on Thursday, May 14 from 12noon-4pm at "The Farm" in Milton, Wisconsin.  Trainer Tracy Porter graciously agreed to host this training at her wonderful facility!  19 first-responders attended:  police, fire, humane, and EMS personnel.  Here are the links to the Janesville Gazette front-page story and the local radio pod-cast:

Edie's clinics on Emergency Horse Handling at the Midwest Horse Fair on Saturday, April 18, 2009 went well.  HotShot continued to distinguish himself as "super-horse" after an almost three-year absence from large crowd situations!
