Join us Thursday, October 8 at California Ranch Company in Temecula for a full day of learning before the Ranch Horse Rendezvous gets underway! Whether you’re brand new to ranch horse competition, looking to fine-tune your performance, or want to learn exactly what catches a judge’s eye, we have something for you.

This year’s Clinic Day brings together four outstanding clinicians — Laurel Walker Denton, Caitlyn Showalter and Murray & Jill Griggs — with three different ways to learn.

👉 Sign up here: https://pci.jotform.com/form/262308408212146

🌟 RANCH HORSE 101 — INTRODUCTORY LEVEL
New to ranch horse classes? Start here! Caitlyn Showalter of the Rich Group will introduce riders to Ranch Riding, Ranch Rail, Ranch Trail and Ranch Conformation. Riders will learn the basics and get hands-on practice in each of the riding classes with guidance from experienced trainers and competitors.

🐴 CLINICS WITH LAUREL WALKER DENTON
Ready to improve your scores and polish your performance? Laurel is offering focused sessions throughout the day, including Advanced Rail & Ranch Riding, Intensive Ranch Trail, and Beginner Rail & Ranch Riding. The Ranch Trail clinic is open to all levels and will focus on the actual Rendezvous patterns, while the rail and ranch riding sessions give riders the opportunity to work at a level appropriate to their experience.

👀 THE JUDGES’ PERSPECTIVE — MURRAY & JILL GRIGGS
Get an inside look at what the judges are actually looking for! AQHA judges Murray and Jill Griggs will work with riders on Ranch Riding, Ranch Trail and Ranch Rail, using the Rendezvous patterns and tailoring instruction to the riders in each session. Choose the 3-hour Judges’ Perspective Clinic or reserve a private 30-minute session for individualized feedback and the chance to ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask a judge.

Not riding? You can still spend the day learning! All-Day Auditor passes are available, and Clinic Day lunch can also be added during registration. $40 pre-registration/$50 on clinic day!
