We’ll have clinics all weekend long, with four of AQHA’s Professional Horsemen and -women and two nationally recognized trainers: Julie Goodnight of Salida, Colorado; Curt and Tammy Pate, a husband and wife from Newell, South Dakota; Jeff Griffith of Gallatin Gateway, Montana; Christy Landwehr of Aurora, Colorado; and Bo Winslow of Estes Park, Colorado. You can bring your horse and participate in as many clinics as you want to. However there are a limited number of spots available for people to participate in clinics with their horses. Participation in a clinic with your horse will be at an additional fee to general admission.
You can reserve and pay for your clinic slots online. Clinic prices range from $15-$75 for AQHA members and $20-$85 for non-members. If you’re planning to bring your horse to participate in the trail ride, the various clinics or contests, here are the prices for stalls and camping:
DAILY WEEKEND
Horse Stalls $20 N/A
RV Camping $20 $50
However, there are unlimited opportunities to attend clinics without your horse. If you want to audit any of the clinics, your general admission ticket will cover entrance into any clinic.
