Bill Richey, the founder and CEO of National Mounted Police Services Inc. is a POST certified mounted police instructor. He was instrumental in creating the mounted units for the City of Duluth, also Forsyth and Gilmer Counties (Georgia) and training their officers and horses. He worked with Atlanta Police Mounted Unit in preparation for the 1996 Olympics and was involved in reorganizing the unit. He was the chief instructor for the Mobile Mounted Police Mardi Gras School. Mr. Richey has participated in and won or placed in every national mounted police competition he has entered. He has over 30 years of experience as a mounted police officer, and almost as many as a trainer/instructor. He has spent countless hours training officers and civilians from all over the United Stated, as well as their mounts, to perform safety and professionally, from the trail to the show ring and to Mardi Gras.
This two day clinic offers learning about the nature of spooking, obstacle and tactical training, and learning how to build confidence in your horse and you as a rider. Stalls are available on site and camping with basic electric and water. The cost of the clinic is $350.00 which includes lunch on both days.
There is a $100.00 non-refundable deposit required to hold a spot in the clinic. Remaining balance is due by April 18th, 2026.
