Cowboy Mounted Shooting in Pennsylvania!

We just returned from a great trip to East-Central Pennsylvania where we conducted a Cowboy Mounted Shooting Clinic at The Ark Farm in Christiana PA. We were hired by Beth Brown, renowned Equine Dentist, and a group who had heard about CMSA and wanted to learn more - several participants were members of a medieval jousting troupe! We had a full-day clinic that covered all the basics including CMSA history, equipment and horses, rules and procedures, gun handling and marksmanship, horsemanship, stage techniques and CMSA training for the horse - and ended the day with desensitizing and some live fire exercises. While in PA, we visited with Mane N Tail Equine Sales Director, Karen Schell, and President Devon Katsev. Karen was kind enough to provide lay-over facilities on her farm in beautiful Northampton, PA. Heading up to, and back from PA, we over-nighted in Dunn NC at the Diamond E farm. They raise champion American Quarter Horses and have a great facility with private stalls, turnout and even a private cabin for those without living quarters trailers. We have discovered many nice lay-over farms throughout the country and also have fond memories of Horseshoe Bend Farm in Benton KY, where we over-nighted during our round-trip to Waterloo IA to perform in "Dances with Horses" a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to everyone's wonderful hospitality! Next weekend, we'll be at the Georgia National Fair representing Mane N Tail at the Feathered Classic Horse Show! (Thanks to Dave Arroyo for these pics). Happy Trails!
