• Notepad, pen, chair, lunch, snacks, drinks.
• A smile & an open mind ready to learn really cool stuff

IMPORTANT

• Your horse will get a lot of treats through the day and we want your horse to be keen on the food and not full. SO PLEASE DON’T FEED YOUR HORSE BREAKFAST BEFORE THE CLINIC. As in, no big feed in a bucket. You could give the horse some grass hay etc. Don’t give them more than one piece of grass hay before the clinic.
• Practice loading your horse onto the float BEFORE you have to go to the clinic. Practice every day until it is easy. Even practice closing the tail gate and taking your horse for a short drive.
  This way your horse will be relaxed about coming to the clinic and you will arrive relaxed and ready to learn… (Also you won’t be late and so you won’t miss out on the important stuff at the start)
• Places limited, early booking essential
• Start time, please arrive at 8.30am (or earlier) so you can settle your horse in and we can be sitting down with coffee in hand ready to start learning really cool stuff at 9am. (We start with theory and it is really the most important part of the whole day so please don’t be late!)
• The clinic will finish at 4.30pm approximately. (We may finish a little earlier if horses or people look really tired from having such a super awesome, fun day full of learning. )
• Flat soled boots, with heel are to be worn at the Centre
