Optional: Hosting clinics: if available but not necessary, is to have some horses for people to practice getting the concept.
Optional: There isn't enough time in the two and half-day clinic to have people trimming live feet at the end of the 2nd full day. A 3rd full day clinic (for those that attended the previous days), you will be supervised to trim your horse. The cost for this additional day is $100.
Evaluations with your horse would be done on Sunday or the last day of the clinic.
