Coronavirus and Our Clinic
Schedule – 3-15-2020
We currently plan to continue
teaching our 2020 clinics as scheduled. We want to assure
you that if you buy one of our clinic slots and then the
clinic is cancelled for any reason, we will return your
payment in full. We will also return your payment in full if
you decide last-minute not to attend the clinic, whether it
is because you are sick or because you decide at that time
that it is not safe for you to travel or attend.
However – we cannot be
responsible for additional expenses like booked
accommodations and airfare. You should negotiate the
cancelation policy with each provider prior to making any
reservations.
Be well and be safe out there. We hope to see you all soon,
Ivy and Pete Ramey
"For those of you who were familiar with both the 100-person clinics we used to teach, and the more recent 15-person workshops from our U.S. driving tour, you'll find the new clinics to be a hybrid between the two. I'm thinking that a 40-participant max is perfect to keep the close-up "gathered around the horse" feel of the small workshops, without having to watch the horse work on a TV monitor as we did in the huge clinics in the past. I think it will be just right."

The cost of the clinic is $300 USD ($250 for 2019/2020 Clinics within the continental US) per person, with a maximum of 40 paying participants per clinic. Seven of the participants will be selected to bring a horse to be worked on during the clinic. Pete will evaluate, discuss and trim each horse. As needed, boot fitting, padded insoles, heat-fitting, shoe application/gluing, hoof casting, etc. will be discussed and demonstrated. For more details, read the Participant Information page.
The clinic host will receive 10% of the gross ticket sales to help cover facility expenses, plus the host can attend the clinic, invite one farrier/trimmer, and one equine veterinarian for free. Hopefully the veterinarian will be available throughout the day to take radiographs, provide sedation if needed, and consult with Pete as needed. If you are interested in hosting a Clinic, please read the Host Information and Requirements page (and all of the other pages provided here).
It is highly recommended that all workshop participants watch some of the Hoof Rehab DVD sets (particularly Under the Horse and In the Trenches) and read the book Care and Rehabilitation of the Equine Foot before attending. If participants already have this background information it will dramatically raise the level of the material that can be covered during the day.
