There will be a presentation on
conformation with lots of
pictures of horses that have
been for sale by all types of
purchasing styles (Auctions,
individuals, horse traders etc.)
All of the pictures will be told
with the story of what was good
and bad about the horse, who
was interested in the horse and
why or why not they did not
purchase the horse.
Everyone attending the clinic will receive:
Flyers
Handouts
A note book to take notes
Lots of answers to their questions
Hands on experience on what to feel on a
horse when it has a conformation flaw, and
how a horse should ride when it is "Push
Button".
We're also working on a Field Guide to
Horse Buying that should be available by the
clinic.
The price is $50 and the clinic could
last from 3-6 hours depending on
how many people sign up and how
many questions they have.
We are finalizing our clinics curriculum and the date is June
28th. The clinic will start at 10am and run through lunch so
bring a sack lunch and drinks. Water will be provided.
Boots are required while working around the horses.
