Horsefest! APRIL 24, 2010
The half-day sport horse in hand clinic with Liz Salmon was a great success. Participants brought horses of several breeds to learn about conformation, how to train and then present their horses on the triangle. Everyone said they thoroughly enjoyed the clinic and hope Liz will return in 2011

Liz also did very thorough, written evaluations of horses, which were used to illustrate conformation, with the owners' permission. The Sale Horse Barn offered 10 horses--stallions and mares--of several breeds. If you would like to have Liz Salmon return for another clinic and evaluation series, please contact us.

WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW
