Robert Eversole, "The TrailMeister", owns and operates the world's largest horse trail and
horse camp guide, www.TrailMeister.com.
Internationally recognized clinician, keynote speaker, riding instructor and author of the best-selling
book "The ABCs of Trail Riding and Horse Camping", Robert "The TrailMeister" coaches horse owners of
every experience level on how to enjoy trail riding and camping with equines. He shares his experiences
and explains what works (and why!) and what hasn't worked over the decades, he's been riding, camping
and packing across the continent.
A refugee from corporate America, Robert built the world's largest guide to horse trails and camps,
www.TrailMeister.com, when he found that accurate information was unavailable. In his clinics and
trail-riding columns in leading equine publications, Robert draws from his experiences as a veteran of
the US Marine Corps, a PATH-certified riding instructor and decades of teaching equestrian and outdoor
skills.
Robert's passion is providing educational and entertaining information to help horse owners move past
their fears and on to their ambitions and dreams of trail riding and horse camping. He emphasizes
practical horsemanshipand outdoor skills in his trail riding and camping clinics.
TrailMeister clinics and the website are filled with practical, workable information that every rider and
camper can use. Web visitors and clinic attendees will leave with the tools and confidence they need to
enjoy the great outdoors safely. Robert helps riders realize their goals.
When not on the trail, Robert belongs to a mule named Ruger and a dog named Boo.
Pre-Expo Cinch Making Clinic
Thursday, April 24, 2025
Class Description:
Join us at our Cinch Building Clinic in Shakopee MN the day before Expo on April 24, 2025, where you’ll
have the chance to explore your artistic talents and meet like-minded individuals who share your passion for
creating beautiful cinches.
This introductory cinch-making clinic will cover a wide range of topics, including Cinch Materials – Natural vs.
synthetic – Determining Cinch Size – How conformation affects cinch width and length – Knots to Know – Cordage
Length – Building the Cinch – Details & Design work – After build care for your cinch – Resources for materials to
make more cinches.
As this is an introductory cinch class, we’ll focus on straight cinches. You can use the techniques learned to create
custom straight cinches, breast collars, belts, hat bands, key chains and more. The skills used in making a straight
cinch are prerequisites for more advanced builds such as roper and english style cinches.
NEW This Year:
We’re thrilled to offer more options in this clinic! In addition to crafting a straight-style western
cinch, you can choose to make a packer-style cinch with double rings.
You’ll also take home all the tools needed to create a cinch – Loom – Instruction Booklet – 5-piece tool kit.
Not only will you have the opportunity to learn new skills and techniques, but you’ll also be able to connect
with other creative individuals and share your experiences and ideas. Seats are limited.
