Join Martin Douzant for a jump chute clinic at Covered Bridge Farm on November 11th focused on free jumping, in-hand work and other training skills. This clinic will fill quickly- don't delay.

Martin Douzant and Joe DeSantis are popular young horse trainers that work extensively with event and jump horses. Based in Middleburg, Virginia, The Frame Sport Horses has a positive training style and extensive experience with green horses and riders. This is a great opportunity to learn from two of the best in the sport!

Using a jump chute is the ideal introduction to jumping for young horses, OTTB's coming off the track, or to work through issues with experienced jumpers. All you need to bring is your horse in a halter (or bridle if you prefer) and your phone/camera to get great pictures and video.

“When you watch horses free jump and do gymnastics you see that each has their own style… they prepare their balance in their own way. The goal of a jump chute is to guide horses is learning how to use their bodies ... and enable them to progress mentally and physically in a positive way."

Organizer Notes

A schedule will be sent out ~5 days prior to the clinic. At this point you own your clinic space. If you cannot attend you are responsible for finding someone to fill your space, and while I will do my best to help, this is the participants's responsibility. If a replacement participant cannot be found, you are responsible for your clinic fee.

All attendees should read Martin's Top 10 Tips for a Successful Jump Chute Experience before arriving, posted here: https://useventing.com/news-media/news/top-10-tips-for-a-successful-jump-chute-with-martin-douzant
