To Host a clinic:
Pricing for the one day hoof clinic, in the continental US, is $125 per person if it is received two weeks prior to the set clinic date and $150 per person for late entries.
Clinic sponsor attends at no charge and receives 10% of gross to help cover his/her expenses. We will require a minimum of 10 participants. We reserve the right to cancel (this has yet to happen) because of a lack of participation, or other various emergencies. All deposits will be returned in full.
The clinic fee will be collected from participants through our website at:
The sponsor will greet participants at the door, have waivers signed, and collect entry fees from any unregistered attendees. We will only be able to receive payment from a credit card online, through pay pal, one week before the clinic.
We will need an indoor facility, which can offer an area for a classroom type environment; a large part of the clinic is lecture.
The facility should have
an area appropriate to show a slide show via our projector (skylights and excess windows are a huge problem)
adequate toilet facilities for participants
a dry erase board with at least four colors of pens
The trimming demonstration portion of the clinic may be at a separate nearby location.
There is no additional charge to the owners of those horses. The owners of horses having horseshoes pulled during the clinic will be required to provide properly fitted riding boots for the front hooves. They can also opt to purchase Boots, we bring for demonstration from Ida at discount prices. Clinic participants are welcome to bring pictures of their horses’ hooves for evaluation and advice from Ida at the end of the clinic.
The host should consider what to do for lunch. We will give an hour lunch break each day. If there are restaurants close enough to the clinic site for participants to get their lunch in this time frame that is fine. Some sponsors have chosen to provide drinks or even sell food to participants. This is up to the sponsor.
