Emily recently participated in a two day Landsafe Equestrian Clinic meant to teach a safe way to land when falling off the horse.  Ironically, this clinic was 5 days too late considering she fell off Flint five days prior and landed on her head.  Luckily, the helmet worked and she was fine! It did cost us a new helmet, however.  

Danny, a former steeplechase jockey, and Keli, a gymnastics coach, traveled from Maryland giving these clinics across the country.  After learning the technique on mats, participants practice from a simulator (think mechanical bull in the shape of a horse).
