Improve Your Horse Trailer Towing Skills!

experience helping drivers feel confident behind the wheel. This session focuses on backing up, turning, and maneuvering
your own horse trailer safely and effectively.
Bring your horse trailer – but please leave your horses at home.
Auditors welcome if you would like to observe rather than participate.
Advance registration is required, even though the clinic is free. We need to know how many people will be attending so we can effectively plan the day.
What to Expect
• Hands on trailer practice with expert guidance
• Personalized tips for improving your driving confidence
• Safe, controlled environment on the Thompson Speedway grounds
• Opportunities to watch and learn from fellow members.
A Special Thank You to the Thompson Speedway
