The SD Horse Council is sponsoring a Harness Clinic in Brookings, SD, at the SDSU Equine Teaching Facility located on North Medary Ave, on Saturday April 16th, beginning at 10AM. The Clinicians are Mr. Joe Biren, Iona, MN and Dr. Larry Insley, Creighton, SD. Joe is the driver of Dakota Thunder Six Horse Hitch of Shires that competes in the North American Six Horse Hitch Classic Series and have qualified for the finals in Oklahoma the last two years. Joe also took Dakota Thunder to the Rose Bowl Parade this past New Year’s Day. Dr. Insley is a past instructor at SDSU in Horse Production and driving and is now living in Western SD. He has raised Belgians and Quarter Horses which he has shown and sold for many years.

Both Mr. Biren and Dr. Insley are very knowledgeable of helping the beginner getting started driving and also helping the advanced person with any issues they might have in driving their horse either single, team or multiples. Some of the areas that will be discussed are fitting harness and harnessing.

No advanced reservations necessary but would like to have you preregister so we have some idea the number attending for the noon meal. Also would like people to comment on the interest areas that they would like discussed or demonstrated.

Cost for the Clinic is $30 for Adults and $15 ages 5 - 17 Lunch is included.
