Miniature Horse Driving Clinic
Didsbury, Alberta
The Summit is a annual clinic series for North Americans to expand their knowledge by learning from top professionals in the industry, brought to you by Amaretto Miniature Show Horses. Summit aims to be an affordable method for attendees to learn and improve their skills with their Miniature Horses & Ponies by bringing the industry's best, right here to Canada. Summit is a yearly gathering for higher education in our breed.
I believe that providing a great educational event will bring more interest to our sport, breed and local clubs. Expect to meet new people, breeders, see some great horses and experience great community.
This clinic aims to be the SUMMIT for likeminded Miniature Horse & Pony enthusiasts to gather, network, learn and grow.

Attendee Information
This clinic will take place in a indoor arena.
LIMITED SPACE
Pack your harness, cart & horses, and bring any specific questions you would like answered by Clinton!
Your investment includes participation in the morning demonstrations with a horse (if needed) for instruction to the clinic audience. Clinton will likely only need one horse for certain demos and that horse will be pulled from attendees.
As a clinic attendee you are welcome to bring multiple horses, but you may only have one horse in the ring at a time as a horse & handler duo, so divide your time wisely. Most registrants pick one horse to bring for the weekend!
Afternoon Group Lessons for Attendees
Each day at approximately 2pm we will start Group Driving Lessons by Clinton. Each Clinic Attendee has one group lesson per day (total 2 for the weekend). There will be no more than 3 drivers per group, with each group lesson lasting a minimum of 45 minutes, to a hour, with warm up time built into your lesson. We have found this group lesson method minimizes your nerves, gives you plenty of arena space and time to work on a new skill with Clinton.
Group driving lessons will be organized by skill level of the handler & horse.
Green - Horse or handler new to driving, handler has less than a year of driving experience, ground drivers.
Beginner- Handler has a beginners experience of driving and is excited to learn more!
Advanced - Handler has been showing and driving for years and is looking for fine-tuning.
I will reach out to Attendees a month before the clinic to sort you & your horse into a group lesson.
