Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program and the Back County Horsemen of the Flathead are sponsoring a horse packing workshop May 21 in Kalispell.
Packing into the back country by horse can be fun and rewarding. Participants will learn about the variety of packing equipment available; defensive horse handling; how to pack a decker, sawbuck and riding saddles; and leave-no-trace camping.
This class is for beginners who want to learn the basics skills needed to pack with their own stock. The workshop will be held at an indoor arena and lunch will be provided. The $35 fee includes the use of all equipment and packing stock; participants don’t need to bring their horse or mule.
