Judy Osburn, a previous clinic participant, shares this, "I highly recommend adding this Sunday clinic to your weekend! While I absorbed a vast wealth of information and skill-building gained while participating in Elizabeth's 'Introduction' clinic last January, it was the next day at her Sunday "Repeat Offenders" clinic when I actually felt like a real horse archer. After bringing it all home and having so much fun with my own horse archery targets, now, not quite a year later, I'm totally excited to take both clinics again, where I plan to learn a new archery draw style on Saturday, and then take my present horse archery skills up yet another level on Sunday learning new techniques to work on adding to my second-year horse archery skills."
Poseidon's Mounted Archers Club for the Central Coast
A new band of horse archers has been created for the Central Coast. Poseidon's Horse Archers is affiliated with HAUSA (Horse Archery USA).
As part of its mission to promote the sport, art and culture of horseback archery, HAUSA offers both recreational and competitive participation opportunities. HAUSA provides benefits on many levels, including access to liability event insurance for HAUSA recognized events organized by the local club. Any HAUSA club-scheduled activity to which the entire club is invited (even if only one rider is involved) is covered, so long as the activity takes place at a location that has been submitted to HAUSA by the club leader (and is therefore on HAUSA's list of practice/event locations).
As a follow up to the Arroyo Grande horse archery clinics, all participants in the mounted archery clinic will be eligible to become members of the local Posiden's Horse Archers mounted archery club, through becoming a member of HAUSA. The club meets monthly for horse archery students to continue the fun of playing together with horses, bows and arrows!
