I have added a PDF file for you to follow along and make notes.
Prioritize a quiet, private clinic space (indoor or outdoor) with safe footing and accessibility. Plan for weather, parking, seating, warm-up areas, meals and snacks, and reliable directions.
Identify essential horse supplies for your clinic, including buckets, water, brushes, hay nets, feed, halters, and fly protection. Prepare for facilities with sheets, first aid kits, and veterinarian contact information.
Set up lecturing zone across the arena with horses separated from participants, interactive session, while considering bathrooms and noise. Prepare waivers, syllabuses, journaling, certificates, and a basic first aid kit.
Welcome!
This Masterclass will take you through the major considerations in setting up your own equine-facilitated clinic.
There is a lot of "behind the scenes" preparation in setting up a clinic. Through the years, I have learned several things the hard way. I rented an arena once and didn't make any money as I didn't charge enough for the course deposit. I had people not show up - YIKES. All that hard work for nothing. Another example was when a heavier participant sat on a chair and broke it - YIKES again!
I felt bad, she was embarrassed, and it was a hard start to the day. Needless to say, I have very sturdy foldable chairs. I wish someone had helped me with the finer details of running a clinic when I started 9 years ago.
