Ride With A Pro Clinics at Equine Affaire April 12-15, 2018 Ohio Expo Center; Columbus, OH Many of the clinicians who will be featured at the 2018 Equine Affaire will be accepting horses and riders for some or all of their sessions. The following pages include a list of the clinic sessions for which riders may apply. Equine Affaire will accept completed applications for all of the sessions and then forward the applications to the clinicians or their designated representatives so that they may make their own selections. Once selections have been made, those applicants who are chosen will be notified by phone. Applicants who are not selected will receive notification by email. All applications must be submitted to Equine Affaire. Please do not contact the clinicians directly. Applicants will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure that you are considered for a clinic, your application must be received no later than February 20, 2018. Please send your application materials to: Beth Volpe, Equine Affaire, Inc., 2720 State Route 56 SW, London, Ohio 43140 Email to: bvolpe@equineaffaire.com or fax to: (740) 845-2879 If you have any questions, please contact Beth at (740) 845-0085 ext. 103 or email bvolpe@equineaffaire.com. What you need to know about applying for and riding in a clinic at Equine Affaire... 1. Clinics are designed to cater to a broad spectrum of horsemen and women. While clinicians are seeking riders with specific skills, others are seeking any riders interested in improving their general relationships with their horses. Each clinician has specific ideas about the horses and/or riders he/she would like to use to demonstrate a particular skill or training process. Do not hesitate to apply because you think that you might not be selected. You might be just what the clinician has in mind! If you are not selected as a participant, we encourage you to come and learn by attending the clinic as a spectator. 2. A fee is charged for each clinic. The clinic fee includes admission to Equine Affaire on the day of the clinic(s) for the rider/handler and 24 hours of stabling (either the night before or the night of the clinic(s)) for the horse. Participants in two-day clinics receive admission to Equine Affaire on both clinic days and 48 hours of stabling. Additional nights of stabling can be purchased for $40/night. Tack stalls may also be purchased. Earned nights of stabling may not be applied toward the purchase of a tack stall. Participants are responsible for bringing or purchasing their own feed and bedding. (Straw and shavings may be purchased on site.) Clinic fees of accepted clinic participants are non-refundable. Exhibitors already contracted to exhibit in the Breed Pavilion and/or Horse & Farm Exhibits may discount the total clinic fees by $50, but they will not receive complimentary admission or stabling. 3. Payment: Checks or credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover) are accepted for payment of application fees. If submitting check(s), please send one check for each clinic to which you have applied. Credit card information is to be provided a credit card authorization form. A 2% processing fee will be added to all credit card charges. Checks and credit cards will be deposited/processed once the selected applicants have been notified of acceptance. Any checks unused will be voided. 4. To be considered to ride or drive in any of the clinics, you must submit a video with your completed application and clinic fee. This video must show you and your horse either in competition or in training as requested in the clinic descriptions. The clinician or his/her representative will use the video to evaluate you and your horse. All videos must be as a link to a YouTube video or standard DVD (one DVD per clinician). Videos should be brief (up to five minutes) and marked with your name and address. We are unable to guarantee that your submission will be returned to you. We recommend that you not submit footage that you must have back. 5. The clinics at Equine Affaire offer a unique and invaluable opportunity to ride with a pro. However, you should be aware that the clinics will be conducted in large arenas where there are likely to be large crowds in attendance. Opportunities to warm up in the actual clinic arenas may not be available. If you and/or your horse cannot function well in such an environment, we cannot encourage you to apply. Please apply only to the number of clinics you could reasonably participate in, if selected for all sessions to which you apply. 6. In the unlikely event that a clinician is unable to conduct his/her clinics as scheduled because of an unavoidable event (such as an illness, accident, flight cancellation, death in the family, etc.), Equine Affaire will make every effort to retain another clinician of similar caliber to conduct the clinics on the same topics as scheduled, and clinic riders will not be given any refund of clinic fees. If, for any reason, a suitable replacement cannot be retained and a clinic must be cancelled, clinic riders will be provided a refund of the fees they paid to participate in the cancelled clinic.
7. Health requirements: All horses brought to the Ohio Expo Center are expected to be free of illness and infectious disease. A veterinarian will be at the event and horse owners will be expected to present their papers upon check-in at the Barn Office. All horses transported to the show from outside the state of Ohio must be accompanied by: a negative test result for equine infectious anemia (Coggins Test) dated within twelve (12) months of April 15, 2017. All horses transported to the show from outside the state of Ohio must present a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health papers) dated within 30 days of the date of arrival at the event. All horses participating in clinics at the event must be sound.
