SEATON HACKNEY OFFERS TWO DAY TROOP PROGRAM

January 20, 2007 – MORRISTOWN: The recently re-opened Seaton Hackney has announced that they will offer a special two-day special troop program during the President’s Day break in February. The two-day troop program will provide riders training to improve horsemanship and horseback riding skills.

The special troop program is being offered on February 19th and 20th , coinciding with school closures in Madison and Morris School District, for riders 8-17 years old, regardless of experience level. The program includes three daily riding sessions: one private or lungeing lesson, one group lesson, and one trail ride.

In addition, participants will participate in Seaton Hackney’s new Badge Program, a program of concentrated study in a variety of areas including Equine First Aid, Tacking Up, Barn Management, Equine Senses & Body Language, and other important topics. Participants study one new area of equine safety and horsemanship on both days to earn badges toward becoming paid Pony Attendants, Volunteers, and Counselors for Seaton Hackney’s spring and summer troop programs.

The troop program starts at 9am and runs until 5pm. Early drop-off and late pick-up can be arranged at no additional cost. Tuition is $185 and includes pizza and drinks. Space is limited to 16 children so reserve early. Session or activity cancellation due to inclement weather will be made up during afternoon sessions the following week.

For more information or to register, participants can sign up at Seaton Hackney at 440 South Street in Morristown or call 973-644-3355 to reserve a spot.
