The Clinicians

Clinicians scheduled to attend the Festival come from as diverse a background as the attendees and the horses they ride. Organizers of the event realize this is a once in a life time opportunity for many trail riders to spend time with clinicians they have only admired from afar, while providing an opportunity to see or work with them in person.

At the Festival, all will be given the opportunity to experience the clinicians first hand. The first one hundred people to sign up for the event will have first choice to attend a clinic with one of the featured clinicians. Daily rides are scheduled at different times of each day allowing riders to enjoy one or two of the scheduled rides, while also attending a number of clinics during the course of the festival. In addition, many of the clinicians will be offering private lessons with sign ups available during rider check in. Clinician fees may apply.
