AND everything in between. He will be thoroughly going through all of the above in great detail but not limited to just these in particular. If anyone has any areas or topics that they would like to be discussed, please contact Owen directly and he will add it to the day plan. You will also get a chance to ask any questions you have with a full Q AND A that will be available
The Miniature Horse Club Of Great Britain and Owen are certain to make this a productive, informative and advantageous day for everyone so we encourage everyone to come forward and share your topics so that each and everyone of you can benefit in the best possible way. Together this clinic has been drafted for quiet some some time and we promise to deliver a fantastic day.
Silversmith Stud is the current reigning breeder of the year and not only will Owen share his knowledge and experience of getting the horse to the winners circle but also the journey from the initial mare and stallion pairing - it will all be delivered at the clinic. Its hard to find a trainer who can fit/handle them to such a high standard, it’s even harder to find a breeder who can breed them to such a high standard and it’s near impossible to find a trainer and breeder who is willing to share it all with you - this is one not to be missed!!

The evening begins with the magnificent Oakridge buffet from 7pm for all participants (there is an option to buy extra tickets at £15 each for partners etc.). Live international band Jacuzzisoup will entertain you with a selection of soul, funk, Motown and disco giving everyone a great opportunity to let their hair down and show off your moves on the dance floor.
