This is an intensive two day clinic for Law Enforcement Only. All students MUST be current LE that have passed their agency’s pistol qualifying standards.
It was noted that there is no comprehensive training for Mounted Law Enforcement with their duty sidearm. This clinic has been developed over the past 3 years with the input and assistance from many in the Military, LE, Equine, and Firearms communities to answer that need. To our knowledge it is the first and only course of it’s kind. You will have fun. You will get dirty. You will shoot a lot. Your horse will be safe.
This clinic will include: live fire at the range with your duty sidearm, live fire from a simulated horse with your duty sidearm, simulated fire from your horse, and live fire from your horse with Ultimate Training Munitions Non Lethal training munition.
Cost: $250 to LE to cover the cost of training equipment
(stalling and camping additional)
Prerequisite: Current Pistol Qualified LE,
Required Equipment: ASTM Certified Helmet , 200 rounds training ammo, duty sidearm and duty holster/rig (bring what you wear on duty), ballistic vest.
Barb will cover ground work and then basic equitation including lateral exercises and body control work, riders balance position and use of the aids. Barb's methods work exceptionally well for anyone looking to improve their partnership with a horse.
This is a relaxed clinic. For those who have not attended a Barb Gerbitz Clinic it is more like going to get a message - think tranquil. We will spend a fair part of the time working on the ground with our horses methodically developing partnership. The riding portion will mostly be done at the walk with some trotting depending on each horse and rider. This clinic is geared towards anyone, of any ability who wants to become a better partner to their horse.
As the weekend progresses we will move into developing through a series of obstacles designed to assist horse and rider in overcoming the challenges they will face in the real world. This is an especially good course for those wishing to advance in the world of Law Enforcement or competitive extreme trail.

Due the passing of family members and injures of key competitors, staff, crew and volunteers we are canceling this event. We extend our condolences and prayers to those in their time of grief and wish speedy recoveries to those injured.
The Spring Schooling Show is an opportunity for horses and riders to run through their paces, get a feel for competition, and try out what they have learned since last season in a low key environment. It is also an opportunity for the staff, volunteers, judges and organizers to run through everything one last time prior to the beginning of the season. Our goal is to have a full show offering all classes listed on the Show Bill. Of course this will be dictated by the competitor turn out we have.
Cost: The costs are listed on the Show Bill. Please make checks payable to: "Renier" and forward payment to: The International Series, 2448 Southard Hwy., Adrain, MI 49221
Clinic I is an awareness level day long clinic. Its purpose is to provide the riders with an awareness level of understanding of The International Series show format, rules, judging standards, and how individual classes are run. The clinic is open to a limited number of riders who wish to bring their horse. It is also open to those wishing to audit. The clinic is not intended to teach skills or horsemanship but instead bring riders to an awareness of what is expected and the format of competition. Future clinics will address areas such as horsemanship, equipment, safety, etc.
Cost: $50 for riders with horse (Includes box lunch, coffee, tea, and soft drinks), $25 to audit (includes box lunch, coffee, tea, and soft drinks). The cost covers lunch, beverages, light snacks and insurance for the day. Clinicians will volunteer their time. Please prepay by May 1, 2015.
