Clinicians include Newt Webb, Michael Dunn and Karlene Bushey.
The clinic will be divided into multiple stations with instruction at each station. We are offering both a cattle and non-cattle option. Those who chose not to work cattle will have the option to audit the cattle classes or repeat one of the dry stations as space allows.
The cost of this clinic is $375 with cattle included or $250 without. This includes 2 days of riding and a stall. A 50% non-refundable deposit will be required to hold your space in this clinic.
