C
linics & Private lessons with
Natural Horseman Lawrance Valdez

 Lawrance is currently from the Rupert, Idaho area (hopefully moving to the Boise area this year).  He is a highly skilled natural horseman who has a very strong background with gaited horses (as well as all other breeds and disciplines.) He is available for clinics, private or group lessons, and training your horse. His resume is extensive.  We will be hosting regular monthly sessions with him.  Pleasure, show, trail, cattle work, reining, whatever you have an interest in.  Contact Sandy Young to get more detailed information on Lawrance and to sign up. 208-442-9445  or  idahopasofinos@aol.com 

---------------------------------------------

Parelli Certified 3 Star Instructor Julia Ryman...

will be doing clinics and lessons in the SW Idaho area as well as other areas.  She is from Nampa, ID and is available to do things in your area as well.  Sandy Young is assisting her with hosting her clinics in the SW Idaho area.  She has had several pasos and gaited horses in her classes, so she is another resource for those wanting to get natural horsemanship help for themselves and their horses.

Southern Comfort Gaited Horse Club

Meeting on January 18th at 6:30 pm, and then monthly after that.  Location: Sandy Young's home in Nampa  ID. It'll be a pot luck dinner with a meeting afterwards.  Call for info and directions.  If there is significant snow, we will need to choose a different location closer to town.  The January meeting is to get things rolling for the Horse Expo as well as getting the club going again.  Open to anyone with a gaited horse of any breed.  Contact Sandy Young for more information.  208-442-9445  or  idahopasofinos@aol.com

Date TBA: 

Combined 2-3 day Trail Trial Rally

Sandy Young will be hosting this event during the summer and fall.  It will be a combination of actual trail work, and then arena work that will include rail work and then your choice of games or a soccer game.  It's meant to be for the recreational rider (show riders can enter as well) with the emphasis being on the relationship between the horse and rider.  It's open to all breeds.  You do NOT have to have show clothing or tack.  Your horse does not have to have perfect gaits.  YOu do not have to be a perfect rider.  There will be 3 different skill levels from novice to experienced and different age groups.   The trail portion will be on trails in SW Idaho in groups based on what your skill level will be.  More challenging trails for more experienced riders and easier trails for the novice, etc.  Please let Sandy know if you have an interest in participating in this sort of event.  And if you think you'd like to host one in your area, it would be wonderful to get a series going around the regions so we can travel to different places to have fun on the trails and be with our friends and get in some friendly competition as well.
