Clinic and Demonstration Format

Friday Evening Demonstration:
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm (demo is usually two hours but can vary)

This is an entertaining and inspiring “warm up” for the clinic. During this demonstration Steve will demonstrate his easy to use methods on a local horse. He usually has one of his horses on hand for the demonstration as well. Last year he often featured his liberty/trick horse T.C. This is an opportunity for you to come and watch Steve live, and ask him your training questions. Join us for an informative and fun evening.

With your purchase of a clinic position, you receive a free pass to the Friday Evening Demonstration, the night before the clinic.

If you are interested in having your horse used by Steve at the Friday Night Demonstration, please contact your individual clinic coordinator. Note: the horse must be registered for the clinic to participate. There is a $50 fee per horse.

Seating may be limited at select clinics. Please note - we may ask observers to bring chairs at these demonstrations. Tickets are purchased at the door.

Admission to the Friday Evening Demonstration is $10, buy 1 get 1 FREE.
