Youth ages 7-18 are encouraged to participate in the clinic and pre-registration is required. The clinic is limited to 30 participants.
There will be both a morning and afternoon session for clinic participants. The morning session begins with registration and runs until noon with a focus on horsemanship and hunt seat equitation.

Riders are required to have a copy of a one year, negative Coggins Test; boots and helmets are necessary for anyone to ride; and each rider must have a waiver signature signed by a parent or guardian.
