I know there's been some talk on here from time to time about trying Ranch / Stock horse events with your barrel horses since they look for a horse that moves out naturally.
If you live in the southeast here's your chance... they're having a clinic & a show the last weekend of this month in Cleveland, TN and it looks like it's going to be a really neat event. Please feel free to share on your facebook and elsewhere..... we don't have very many events of this type in east TN at all and I'm hoping they get a big response and see that people are interested.
Here's the email that I received --
The Tri-Star Stock Horse Show series begins with an exciting weekend in Cleveland, Tennessee. We are excited to have two Extreme Mustang makeover Champions as our clinicians on Saturday, May 31, 2014.
