Each day of the festival we will be featuring clinics and performances by a fantastic line-up of nationally and regionally renowned equine clinicians. Daily rides are scheduled at different times of each day allowing riders to enjoy the scheduled rides, and also be able to fit in attending a number of clinics during the course of the festival.
There will be opportunities to participate in clinics with your horse as a team, and also opportunities to audit. There will be a modest registration fee to attend clinics as a horse and rider team. Sign up early and be among the first 50 registrants and receive a free entry slot to attend a clinci with your horse!
If you do happen to miss your favorite clinician or just can't get enough, be sure to sign up for a private lesson during your stay at the event. Clinician fees may apply and vary. Sign up will be available at rider check-in at the facility. We expect to have as many as eight clincians at this festival so be sure to check back often for updates!
