Welcome to Canadian Summit

Miniature Horse Show Clinic
Didsbury, Alberta
​
The Canadian 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

LIMITED SPACE
Welcome to a "All-Around" weekend of education! Pack your show halter, harness, cart & horses, and bring any specific questions you would like answered by Mike Rosauer!
Your investment includes participation in the morning demonstrations with a horse (if needed) for instruction to the clinic audience. Mike 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.

Saturday Afternoon Group Lessons for Attendees
Mid Saturday afternoon we will start Group Halter Lessons with Mike. There will be no more than 4 horse/handlers per group, with each group lesson lasting 30 minutes. 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 Mike.
We will finish Saturday with a interactive Group Lesson on showing in Hunter with your horse.​​​

Sunday Afternoon Group Lessons for Attendees
On Sunday at approximately 2pm we will start Group Driving Lessons with Mike. There will be no more than 3 drivers per group, with each group lesson lasting 45 minutes. There will be 15 minute warm up and tack up time between driving groups. 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 Mike.
Group driving lessons will be organized by skill level of the handler & horse.
