Horse Council BC - Notes from the Office

Hooves, Heels, Wheels and Woofs Pilot Project

This event took place in Powell River on June 17th with the goal of educating different user groups on how to pass horses safely on the trails and for horseback riders to get their horses comfortable around other trail users.

The day started with a horse behaviour demo followed by four horse habituation clinics led by our trainers Maxine Betts and Milan Jackson.

The horses were introduced to quads, dog walkers, mountain bikes, backpackers and dirt bikes. Fourteen horses and over fifteen volunteers attended this day and a variety of people wandered over from the Farmers’ Market to catch a glimpse of the action.

As this was a pilot project, Horse Council BC is exploring next steps on how to proceed with this program. If you are interested in seeing this type of event in your community please reach out to recreation@ hcbc.ca.
