August 9-12: SEFHA Iron Mountain Horse Retreat - Come join SEFHA members in the Iron Mountain area of Virginia.

You can stay at Iron Mountain Horse Camp or Hungry Horse East Horse Camp. Either way, we will ride the trails together! If you do not have a LQ horse trailer, these places may have a cabin available for rental. You will need to check with the campground.

Meals are on your own. Pack a lunch/snack to take on the trail.

Make sure your horses have shoes all the way around or boots. The trails can be pretty rocky. (This photo shows one of the smoother trails.)

​Any questions, please email David Tuggle at sefha1@gmail.com 

In the Taylor McIntosh Horsemanship Clinic, we participated in several games. In this game, we put several new skills together. Here is one of the games. Click here to watch the video. 

​The participants of the Taylor McIntosh Natural Horsemanship Clinic were feeling enthusiastic after the clinic. They worked hard and learned a lot. They are ready to take their new skills and use them.
