Primiarily held for members of Kigers de los Californios, Sue Watkin held the second of a three-Saturday series of her horsemanship training clinic here this past Saturday. The Kiger is a rare, purebred wild horse that was re-discovered in the Kiger Mountains and is a direct decendant of the Spanish mustang. They may often be recognized by the black leg stripping  or other unusual body markings.  Sue has ridden and trained in every equine discipline, from dressage to gymkana but, these days, focuses mostly on western horse training, trail riding, and working with Kigers.

The driveway here was pretty much loaded up with trailers on Saturday and we had over a dozen mounted riders in the arena. Since much of her second session dealt with riding at a trot, I have to confess there are certain parts of my anatomy that I are still a tad tender but Sue’s workshop was extremely helpful, especially since Big Hank and I are still working out the kinks in our new partnership.

Next workshop is Saturday, March 16th.
