Feed - Kasia will be giving a condensed segment of her feed clinic and giving every one samples of all the different feeds that you may be asked to identify at Quiz and Testing. She will also explain the types and their nutritional value. Approx: 1.5 hour

 

Bits & Tack: Identifying bits and classifying them in groups based on their use and action. I now have over 145 bits in my collection and everyone can have a chance to look at them freely. We can see some tack that is not so common in most barns. Approx: 1hr

 

How to handle appeals and speaking to testers with "confidence". "What does a tester want to see and hear"  This will be very beneficial to all who are testing and the team captains for Quiz. I may also call on Cat to help in this area. Approx: 1 hr

 

Bandaging - elective! during a lunch break those who would like to take a shot at bandaging and have them critiqued may do so. Real horses would be the preference but the back up will be my plastic legs. This is directly geared to anyone testing. However that is 1/2 of the group :)

 

Conformation - Elective - of more value to testing than to Quiz but if you would like this clinic please let me know. Conditioning - Elective - the choice of date will govern this clinic.
