PHD is exactly what it sounds like -
an event to develop performance horses.
PHD consists of:
2 ground work levels that develops the proper frame of mind for the horse to be trained while competing for awards.
5 Rider confidence developing levels, that allow new riders to develop their skills while competing for awards.
12 Performance Horse Developing levels, that progressively increase the physical and control demands on the horse, allowing the horse to develop physically and mentally as it competes.
TPHDA will organize practice sessions, clinics and video taping days for all the PHD levels. We are looking for people to assist in organizing these events so please contact us if you would be interested in join us in these educational competitions
