All riders face the risk of injuries resulting from falls. The Landsafe clinic is designed to teach riders the best practices of fall prevention and response. While every ride can result in a fall, this clinic provides techniques that can reduce the chance of injury. The NJ Region Pony Club is underwriting a large portion of the cost of this clinic to help increase the safety of your rider. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity!

During this two-day, interactive clinic riders will learn and practice techniques that reduce injury. Junior rider (age 11 and under) sessions will be two-hours each day and seniors (age 12+) will practice four hours each day. For liability reasons, junior riders are not able to learn from the simulator. It is important that your rider participate on both days.


DAY 1

Two hours of basic gymnastics skill building will start your day. Here you will learn the correct ways to shape, roll, position arms and wrists, balance, body awareness and the control needed to become competent in a dive roll. The next two hours will be spent transferring these skills to the simulator.


DAY 2

We will revisit the basic gymnastics skills learned on day 1 and look for ways for you to develop stronger skills while working at home. The time spent is dependent on progress of skills. The second part of the day two session will be devoted to skills on the simulator, here we will also visit a variety of different types of fall scenarios.


Various junior and senior sessions are available. Registration will be limited to pony club riders, leaderships and trainers until July 1, then any available slots will be open to late entry members or non-members at the standard clinic rates of $185 for juniors and $365 for seniors.
