"I've ridden hunters and jumpers my entire life but I always wanted to try cutting. I'm so glad I did. I loved it!"
Sandra Jensen
Clinic Participant
Who may attend? We pride ourselves on accessibility to our clients; therefore, we are encouraging most skill levels to attend--even those whose riding experience may be other than the sport of cutting or reining. If you can hang on at a lope, you can ride a cutting horse or reining horse.
Where can I stay? A variety of hotels and restaurants are a short drive away--only 5 miles. View our Lodging Page for a variety of options.
What should I bring? It may be warm (70-90+ degrees), so we recommend a hat, long sleeve shirt, comfortable riding boots (slick, no tread) and jeans. Don't forget sunscreen. Bring a light jacket for the evening as the fog may roll in. Cowboy hats: afternoons can be breezy, so make sure it fits well and is comfortable to wear for long periods of time; otherwise, a baseball cap works fine.
What should I expect? You should expect to have the unique opportunity to ride a quality, finished cutting horse or reining horse with expert help and top-notch facilities. Expect to learn not just from your own experience but from the experience of others riding in the clinic with you. Space is limited in order to provide individual attention. Only 6 may attend.
Can I bring my own horse? Sure. But we strongly believe you’ll get the most out of the experience by riding a horse different from your own. Our horses are proven show horses; we’re confident you'll enjoy your experience by learning on them. However, If you have a broke cutting or reining horse you would like to bring instead, you may do so by making prior arrangements with us.

"Keli really improved my cutting skills and kept if fun too. I showed at my first NCHA show shortly after and won 2 checks."
