Hosting a Samantha Harvey Clinic

Typically clinics are booked months in advance, but we do occasionally have last minute openings. It can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to get a clinic organized.  Once you have 6 to 9 people committed to participate we will be happy to schedule a clinic at your facility.


Host's responsibilities: Don't be scared! It's quite easy and a fun way to gather like minded horse people for a fun filled, safe and supportive clinic. 

• Determine at least two date options, times, length of clinic (2-5 days) and clinic content/focus
• Secure a suitable facility to hold the clinic (see requirements below)
• Distribute and collect all paperwork (see below) related to clinic registration and liability waivers
• Collect fees from participants one month PRIOR to the first day of the clinic
• Mail all participants registration paperwork & fees to Sam as final confirmation of clinic one month prior to the first day of the clinic
• Organize accommodation/meals for Sam (see below)
• Act as the "on-site" organizer during the clinic

Why should you host a clinic?
