September 22, 2008: Cross Country Training

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


CROSS COUNTRY TRAINING AT
SEATON HACKNEY STABLES


September 22, 2008 – MORRISTOWN: Seaton Hackney Stables announced yesterday that they will be offering cross-country training at their Morristown facility to qualified riders.

Cross-country riding is a new offering for the County facility and allows participants to ride horses over open fields and jump obstacles such as water jumps, ditches, coops, and logs to demonstrate horsemanship. Cross-country riding focuses on speed, endurance and jumping ability of the cross-country horse while demonstrating the rider's knowledge of pace and proper positioning as well as safely controlling the horse across open fields and through wooded areas.

Due to the demanding nature of cross-country riding, interested riders must participate in clinics which include instruction on safety, riding position, footing, terrain and proper approach to cross-country fences. Interested riders should call the office at 973.644.3355 to reserve their spot in one of their upcoming training clinics in October.
