Location: Bandera, TX | I've never been to a barrel clinic, but I have been to two of Craig Cameron's clinics and I'm going again in May. He has helped me to calm my horse down a lot, which in turn has helped me shave off over 1 sec. He makes riding fun and exciting - a lot of different exercises and games. He is a great communicator and does not push any of his products on you. The stuff he tells you makes sense and works. He will also ride your horse if you want him to. There is a max. of 10 people in his class and you are in the saddle all day and get plenty of one on one time. When I first went I was concerned that this would be a waste of money, but already after the first day I felt that I got my money's worth. I have learned more from him in the last six months that I have from many other trainers that I spent a lot more time with. |

Location: Louisiana | There were a lot of posts regarding clinics a couple of months ago. Go to this link to view the thread: http://www.barrelhorseworld.com/forum/thread-view.asp?threadid=2556 If that doesn't work, do a search for Who's barrel clinic have you attended? and make the search for the past 90 days, because it originated in January. |

Location: Bandera, TX | Craig's long weekend clinics (Thur.-Sun) at his place are around $900. The food and accommodations were wonderful. You might catch him cheaper somewhere on the road. I paid $300 for a weekend deal at someone else's place. |

Location: Gainesville, GA | My first clinic was Lance Graves last May. I enjoyed it and really liked the fact that he rode my horse but I wanted to go to a clinic so I could become a better rider. I've only been running barrels for 2 years so I'm still not that great. Then I went to Lynn McKenzie/Tanner Time clinic in September. It was 3 days and only 15 students. I worked my butt off....it was great. Lynn is a great teacher and the style and science of barrel racing she teaches is great! I started the clinic on a new horse that I had only had about 3 weeks. I ran a 19.7 the first run and left the weekend running a 17.7. I got most improved rider! I was very happy. I just got back this weekend from another Lynn McKenzie clinic. Didnt work as hard at this clinic. It was only 2 days and not with the Tanner Time people but Lynn really works with every student for as long as it takes. She knows alot about horses and I am thankful for her wisdom. I ran my fastest time ever saturday night( a 16.7)......needless to say I was estatic!! But I fell off at the second barrel on Sunday ....totally my fault but I still had a great time and learned alot. If anyone gets the chance to go to the Lynn Mckenzie/Tanner Time Lab...GO........you will not regret it!!!

Location: Florida | When I went to Equus America last year, I watched a Martha Josey clinic. It was pretty informative. There wasn't a lot of one-on-one stuff because of the way it was set up. Everything she said made a lot of sense. At the end she ran her horse through the pattern without a bridle. The cost of the clinic was included with the admission price. |

Location: Cleveland, GA | i've been to martha josey's clinic which i think was good and i learned alot but i think its geared more toward beginners, and lance graves was a good one too but not enough riding time for me.. and lynn mckenzie clinic.. by far hers was the best  ... lots of one on one time and she makes you do it till you get it right and doesnt mind telling you when you are making mistakes and thats what i like... that one i will go to everytime i get a chance for refresher courses for me cause i tend to forget... |

What I would really like to know is what the sponge monkeys recommend we feed our horses. Also, what is their stand on the forward/reverse slant issue? Their clinic sounds like a very interesting one to attend. |

Location: I'm lost - please tell me, I'm not on BHW again!!! | Well this is interesting - you see: 1) PEANUT BUTTER - They recommend it for everything! They say put it in their feed it's better then RBO or Corn Oil and it's helps their mouth stick together too so your horse doesn't eat to much to waist any food or money your putting into hay. They also use it for everything - especially if a client can't keep her/him butts in the saddle, it really helps for that! 2) Reverse Slant or straight slant - they don't like either. They say to put a rack in that back of your truck is the best. That way they are right over the shocks and don't tie them down, they want to run wild (natural instincts). |
