Clinics

Ride with Your Favorite Trainer or Clinician!

Have you ever wanted to ride with your favorite trainer or clinician? Well here is your chance!

Bring your horse and ride with the best in the industry! Many of our Horse Expo Clinicians are looking for horses & riders to work with during their clinics over the four-day event. These clinics offer unique opportunities for you & your horse to receive individual instruction from world renown professionals who might not normally be available otherwise.

FAQs

What are the Requirements to Participate? Do I Qualify?

Our Clinics cater to a broad range of equestrians from all over the horse industry. While some clinicians are seeking horses & riders with specific skills or problems, others enjoy the chance to work anyone who is interested in improving their relationships with their horses or honing their skills. Don’t be afraid to apply- we have many opportunities available for even the greenest of horses or riders. There are also many non-riding demonstrations, from body work and saddle fitting to nutritional seminars too!

Our only requirement? That you have a clean, well behaved horse and a professional turnout & attitude!

How Much Does It Cost?

Horse Expo clinic fees vary depending on the session length, who is teaching & what is being taught. Some clinicians book their own riders and charge a small fee others use our pool of riders and offer the opportunity to ride and learn at no additional cost outside of lodging and stalls.  You will also be asked to pay for a stall and keep your horse onsite at the Murieta Equestrian Center. Please refer to the Stall Order Form below for more details or don’t hesitate to call or email us with questions!

Do I Have to Commit to All Four Days? Can I Ride with Multiple Clinicians?

You can participate as much or as little as you like. If selected, Horse Expo staff will contact you with available sessions best suited to you & your horse based off the information and videos provided to us. There are also many non-riding demonstrations, from body work and saddle fitting to nutritional seminars to build your knowledge too!
