Hi: I have a 3 year old that I have just started. He is gentle and willing and I want to do the best I can for him. Will this clinic be of help to get him going in the right direction? Also I have 2 small Poms that go with me everywhere, they will be contained but I have nowhere to leave them that would work, would this be a problem? I live in Wa. do we have a recipricol agreement to haul across state lines or do I have to go through the Coggins thing? I haven't hauled out of my comfort zone before so don't know the procedures?  Thank you  Pat Baker

Happy Holidays everyone,

 

I wanted to take this moment to remind you all of the December 31st deadline in order to get the best price on the May 27-29 clinic in Nampa, ID called "Getting To Know YOur Paso Fino"  with Vickie McQuinn and Johnny Lanier.  The price to ride is only $150 for a three day clinic if you register by December 31st.  Price goes up after that to $225 between Jan 1 and March 31, and then up again to $300 between April 1st and the clinic. 

 

All I need to hold your spot is a registration form, your committment and at least a $50 deposit and the balance can be paid in installments or at least needs to be paid in full two weeks before the clinic.   I can even accept credit cards thru our store, but add 3% to the amount to cover processing costs.

 

You will ride twice each day.  A group session in the morning and an individual session in the afternoon.  If you have two horses you would like to bring, you may split your time up between them.  You can share your time with a friend too. 

If you have any questions, please talk to me.  If you know me, you know I will try to do what ever I can to accomodate you and to make it work so you can be there. 

 

There are a bunch of us who like to go on trail rides on the days before and after the clinic.  So please consider staying and joining us.  If you need a horse to ride, ask. We may be able to find one you can use.

 

We are also going to take an hour or so on Saturday for a Sale Horse Preview at lunch time.  If your horse is being ridden in the clinic or you advertise on the www.westernstatespasofinos.com  web site, you can present your horse for free.  Otherwise it is $10 per horse.   I am hoping that at some point this sale will really kick into high gear and be something that really draws in a lot of prospective buyers.  For now it has been inconsistent ranging anywhwere from 10-15 lookers besides the clinic participants, to hardly any.  If anyone  has some suggestions, please make them.

 

You are welcome to camp at my place.  I don't have RV hook ups, but on a limited basis can run an extension cord out to your rig and help out with showers in my house.  There is a porta-john on site.  I feed you really good food and plenty of it. IF you have special food needs, let me know what they are.  I can very easily accomodate you.

There are hotels close by as well.

Horse stabling is padocks and portable 12 x 12 pannel stalls that are outside.  Please be sure I  know what your stabling needs will be so I am sure to bring in enough of them to meet our needs.

I do not have an indoor arena (yet) but will have a back up indoor arena available near by in case of bad weather.

 

This is shaping up to be a great clinic.  It is already more than half full  (20 rider maximum) with people coming from WA, OR, ID, UT, NV, MT.     We have a lot of fun and learn a tremendous amount.  Please come and join us.  Even if all you do is audit, you will go home with your head stuffed full of new information and will have made many wonderful friends.

 

Happy Trails and Holidays,
