(June 2012) – Please add these certification clinics to your event calendars and help share the word about where to attend Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) Clinics around North America. These educational certification clinics are open to riding instructors, vaulting coaches, barn managers and trail guides that want to have a professional certification under their belts and help with insurance discounts and in marketing their equine programs.
Safety, professionalism, herd management, teaching techniques, and group lesson control are all evaluated by two clinic staff during the clinic. Our busiest months for clinics are normally May and June. Here is the link to the clinics as they are being added all the time. http://cha-ahse.org/store/clinics.php You can sign up to receive our free once a month e-newsletters, that always have a list of clinics, on the CHA home page at www.CHA-ahse.org.
