For a horse clinic, we need a warm in winter, or cool in the summer space, and comfortable area for students to be seated during the lecture portion of the clinic. Often, a tack room, lunch room or office area works nicely. A fridge for the student’s lunches is a necessity as well. Use of a chalk board, flip chart or white board is necessary. A larger open area for the hands-on / small groups work area is required. We also need a wall area to be able to pin or tape up charts used in class.

For the hands-on portion of the clinic we will need a minimum of 1 horse for every 2 students. Participating horses should have good ground manners and experience being worked with in groups. It is best if these horses live at the facility, as hauling in horses can be stressful.

For a dog clinic, we need a warm in winter, cool in summer, comfortable area for students to be seated during the lecture portion of the clinic. Often, a large multi-purpose room or large work area meets these needs. For instance, a doggy day care facility or a large family/living room would work. A fridge for the student’s lunches is a necessity as well. Use of a chalk board, white board, or flip chart is necessary. A larger open area for the hands-on / small groups work area is necessary (outdoors or indoors depending on weather). We also need a wall area to be able to pin or tape up charts used in class.  

For the hands-on portion of the clinic we will need a minimum of 1 dog for every 2 participants. It is strongly suggested that the participating dogs be well socialized and have experience being in groups. It is advised that dogs have kenneling or a separate area available to them between work sessions.
