Her sister lives 30 min from me and hosts her clinics a few times a year. I've been trying to get to one, but due to working shift work, it never fails they are always put on when I am at work
I've had several friends attend and have heard good reviews.

I went to one. I loved it. She had drills etc for keeping your horse working, thinking and tuning. My horse was stalling really bad and bowing out at second and a bit at third. She got me getting my hand up forward as soon as I was leaving the barrel to essentially quit pulling out to the side. It really helped our issue. I did observe there were a few younger girls and very green riders in the clinic who really lacked basic horsemanship skills. They didn't understand about lifting the shoulder and controlloing the horses hip etc. Just solid basic horsemanship. Deb didn't really get into that with any of them. She was there to teach barrel racing techniques and drills, not horsemanship skills.
All in all I got a lot out of it, it was well worth going. She also gave me the push I needed to quit training on my horse all the time and just go enjoy him and run him and fix a problem if it comes up. She told me my horse was broke to death and I needed to quit babysitting him and have fun. I really needed to hear that and it helped a ton.
Deb is also really down to earth, approachable and friendly. Great Clinic
