I have been to two and will be attending a 3rd all at the Wisconsin facility that she is returning to this spring. I have taken two different horses, neither one had Dash Ta Fame breeding. I got just as much attention as everyone else. I am one to attend clinics with an open mind and I watch everyone else go. There is something to be learned watching every single horse go. What I like is that she doesn't cookie cut them. She tries to work with that horses style.
After the first clinic I e-mailed her with questions and she sent me her personal number, Dena talked to me on the phone for an hour trouble shooting with me. That horse was cow bred top and bottom.

My first Dena clinic was on a horse that was all cowbred.  I loved her clinic.  She was so helpful to me and I felt I had the same amount of attention as every one else.  I like her method and her teaching style.  Her clinics are setup so she works with one rider at a time.    She has helped me with other horses and none of them were designer pedigrees.  She has alot of knowledge as she has trained and ran alot of horses that outright took first.  

When it comes to the clinic business, you are always going to get 1 to 3 riders that say they love the clinic, then there is a "middle" group that liked it and had fun and learned what they wanted, then there typically are 1 or 2 that say they hated it and learned nothing.  This has been the case at every clinic I ever attended or hosted and it doesnt matter who the clinician is.

My advice would be to go and check it out for yourself.  Draw your own conclusions.  Personally I take opinions with a grain of salt.  Everyone has a perspective that they draw from and it might not be yours.
