The CVG and Files Barrel Horses of Alabama will be
hosting a barrel racing clinic on May 24 and 25, 2008.

The registration fee of $250 per horse/rider combination will cover attendance for both days. A registration form and a $50.00 non-refundable deposit needs to be received by Beth Kendall by April 1, 2008, to hold your spot in the clinic. The balance of $200.00 needs to be received by Beth by May 1, 2008, or you risk losing your spot to someone else who would like to attend.

The clinic may be audited by those who wish to learn but not actually participate with a horse. The fee for auditing per day is $30.00. Please mail a check to Beth Kendall if you plan to audit the clinic. Her address can be found on the Registration Form (link below).

The Files will work with each horse and rider combination to maximize the full potential of each. They review all aspects of barrel racing from starting and training to correcting problems and maintaining your barrel horse. They specialize in keeping the horse and rider calm and concentrating on the job at hand. The first day of the clinic you will be videotaped doing a run on your own. During lunchtime, there will be a sit-down session to go over critique of everyone's video run. The afternoon will consist of hands-on education with the Files working with all riders and horses. The second day of the clinic will consist of the riders receiving more hands-on education and critique. At the end of the day, we will have a friendly competition with each rider running barrels.

Riders under 18 years of age must wear a helmet while mounted and must be accompanied by an adult during the clinic. Shoes with heels are to be worn at all times by everyone.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you plan to attend by completing the registration form and sending in your registration fee.
