Clinic Summary
Despite the wet weather, the circles, stops and spins kept going inside Kolsun’s arena. On June 13 and 14 Locke Duce was the clinician for a two day Reining Alberta Clinic; the first day there were 8 adult riders and the second day there were 10 Youth riders.
Locke’s expertise and positive feedback inspired all who attended. Locke also donated back to Reining Alberta about $600.00. Lunch and the facility was donated by the Kolsun Family, as well as door prizes were given to all the youth members who attended. These prizes were donated by Cannon Industries, Michelson Stables the Kolsun Family and Bailey Saddlery.
A Big Thanks to Locke Duce for all of his help and to everyone that attended as well as to everyone that donated money or prizes.
The Youth members also voted on the slogan to go on our Reining Alberta youth T-shirts. The winning slogan was:
GOT SLIDE * WILL RIDE
Thanks to the members who submitted an idea.
Keep watching for our next CLINIC and please get your youth development forms in.
HAPPY REINING!!

Clinic Summary
On April 12th,2008 a Reining Alberta Youth Development Clinic was held @ Wendy Nelson Reining and Performance Horses in Cochrane Alberta. It was a dismounted Clinic in which 14 youth members attended.We learned about show pen psychology, judging, horse/rider fitness and nutrition. A special thanks from the Reining Alberta Youth to Wendy Nelson for donating her expertise and facility, and to Rhonda Miller and Wendy Johnston for donating their expertise and time as well. .Also thanks for the donation of the pizza party with the game and socializing hour. All the members/parents had a great day of learning and having fun; I can't wait till the next Youth Development Clinic in the spring of 2009.
