Spring 2011 Nashoba Clinics

Tom O’Carroll Clinic, April 16-18

Tom is a Nashoba favorite, and this is his third time to come to our area. He also has trained several Nashoba driving horses and does a wonderful job with problem horses or starting horses to drive. His driving mantra is SAFETY, and he emphasizes incident-free driving.

Tom’s Good Hands Training Center is located in Navasota, Texas, and “good hands” is what he teaches. Tom wants you and your horse to have a comfortable experience every time you drive. He wants you to develop in your horse a willing attitude that thrives on human interaction rather than resistance. Tom is the ultimate teacher in that he will work with you “til the cows come home” OR until you get what he’s teaching!! Don’t miss this opportunity to work with Tom O’Carroll.

Larry Poulin Clinic, May 21-23

Nashoba Carriage Association is honored to host Larry Poulin as a clinician this spring. He has had an extremely successful driving career, having won the USET Pairs Championship seven times. He was the highest placed American driver at the World Championships three times. He was one of three drivers representing the U.S. in Hungary at the World Pair Driving Championships last August. He retired from competing this year and is placing his full attention on training.



Larry is from Petersham, MA, and he winters in the Ocala area of Florida for the active carriage driving season. It is there that the Chancellors, driving members of our club, met Larry, and they highly recommend him as a clinician. Larry’s horsemanship skills are phenomenal, and his ability to convey how to get you and your horse on the same page is his strong point. Larry’s main emphasis is patience in training, and he passes along his calm demeanor to the student and the horse.



This is the chance of a lifetime to train with a driver of this caliber so close to home! Contact captbobmartin@aol.com to insure your space in this clinic.
