Clinic Format

The idea behind this clinic is to give drivers that are safely driving on their own the opportunity to grow their skills.  We believe that driving has a lot of variety to offer and would like to give you a taste of some of that variety. Each horse and driver (and header) will have roughly 30 minutes in each clinic area.  We'll divide the drivers up in smaller groups, no more than four to a group, and they will move through the different sections of the clinic together.  

Example:  Horse A & B start with Nicole in the main ring, Horse C & D start with Joyce on cones, Horse E & F start with Kathleen in the Marathon, Horse G & H start with Susan in Dressage, etc.

This format should allow everyone plenty of time to get a taste of the different areas and get all of their questions answered.

We do strongly suggest that everyone have a header.  There will be two 'ground' areas - the bitting area and the clothing area.  Additionally Susan has expressed an desire to have everyone walk through a simple dressage test, your header would be responsible for hold your horse during that time.

We would like to stress that this clinic is open to ALL breeds, including minis and drafts.  While there are sections that are more show oriented than others you do NOT need to be a show driver to participate.  The idea is to create better drivers with skills that are appropriate both in and out of the show ring.
