Bright Horizons offers a variety of skill-specific clinics throughout the year. These clinics are designed to provide independent Bright Horizons riders, plus other interested members of the local riding community, with half-day training sessions that are both educational and challenging.

Clinic Topics

Previous Bright Horizons clinics have focused on a variety of skills appropriate for beginner through expert-level riders. For example: primary ground handling skills, barrel racing, roping, and advanced horse care.

Have an Idea for a Clinic Topic?

Bright Horizons instructors are always interested in applying their teaching skills to share their 50 plus years of combined horse experience with others. If you, or a group of people you know, have an idea for a clinic, contact us and we'll put you in touch with an instructor to see if there's sufficient interest to warrant our hosting a clinic.

Other Types of Events

Special Occasions

Who says that a birthday party, graduation or other special occasion can't be a learning event? No matter the occasion, spending time learning new skills (or refreshing old ones) can make for a very memorable experience. Learn more about Buckaroo Birthday Party packages.
