Clinic Sponsors
Clinic sponsors organize, promote and fill clinics. They locate and secure a facility, set the dates, and take care of all the details. Usually the sponsor will also ride in the clinic, and will make some money for their efforts. Below is a condensed version of what sponsors do. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact us for more detailed information.
We have limited dates available through the end of this year. Please contact us regarding availability.
Clinic Sponsor Responsibilities

- Collect remaining balance due from riders before clinic begins
- Provide a P.A. system for all riding sessions. At minimum, P.A. system should have a wireless microphone that Clinician can wear during demonstrations, and multiple speakers so riders can hear in most locations in the arena. Volume should be adjustable. Clinician may be able to provide the P.A. system, depending on the riding facility
- Consult with Clinician as to what electronics (video and sound supplies) each will supply at the clinic
- If clinician is flying in, a well-trained horse for clinician to demonstrate on is required. Please discuss this with clinician well in advance of the clinic
