Our 2023 Schedule is final and available for printing here. We’re looking forward to returning Clinicians and a few others as our response to last year’s schedule was terrific! Registration Forms for Clinics are available here and also noted below.

Most Events are open to the public with discounted fees for Members. Trail rides are free to Members with guests welcome for a $10 fee.  Our Clinics have limited space so be sure to register early.  Up to date Coggins/Rabies is required for all Events and Trailrides.
