If you or your horse have not
participated in a parade, as you may be aware,
there are many "scary" things happening that you
and your horse need to be desensitized to,
including
- kids running out to pet a horse
- fire truck and emergency vehicle
sirens
- parade participants throwing
candy out to the spectators
- loud banging drums and marching
bands
- kids with firecrackers and snappers
- kids on bicycles driving recklessly
- funny vehicle backfires
- batons tossed high in the air
- Clowns, clowns, clowns!
The
Clifton Horse Society provides an annual
"Bombproofing" Clinic that is highly
recommended for anyone wanting to ride in a
parade. This event is usually held in the
fall. Please be sure for the safety of
everyone that your horse is prepared for the
challenge of riding in a parade.
If you are interested in riding in any of the
parades mentioned above, or you know of a parade
not mentioned in the list above contact the NHS
