Emma Ford and Cat Hill are the authors of the top selling book World Class Grooming for Competition Horses.

This is THE CLINIC to attend if you want to know all you need to know about taking care of your best friend, or grooming for a top professional. No matter what discipline or level, there will be hands on demonstrations from clipping, braiding, first aid to trailer loading. Topics will be split up into 11/2 to 2hr sessions each day. Some topics will be hands on whilst others will be more of a lecture style.

Two 1-day clinics will be held. Saturday 11/21 is for Pony Club Members only and Sunday 11/22 is open to anyone.

***Please specify in your Note To Organizer which day you plan to attend. Thank you!**

Each day will start at 9am with a meet and greet and finish around 4pm. Signed copies of the book will be available for sale.

Book Accolades:
“It’s all there in one spiral-bound book, making it a great resource for experienced horsemen and novices alike, and it should be considered required reading for those looking into working student or groom positions. … Whether you’re looking for instructions on how to do hunter braids, wrap a leg properly, or adjust a figure-eight noseband, you can be sure Ford and Hill have done it thousands of times, and they’re eager to share their knowledge.”—Chronicle of the Horse

“Emma Ford and Cat Hill have taken their careers as professional grooms to another level. The pride they take in their work and the skill they exhibit in both keeping horses at home and preparing them for competition are unparalleled. We can all learn from them and be better horsemen for it.”—Phillip Dutton, 5-time Olympic equestrian with 2 Gold medals

“In World-Class Grooming for Horses, we learn techniques for wrapping legs, bandaging tails, adding quarter marks, and polishing the metal on our bridles. But we also meet two conscientious and supremely motivated horse people who put the needs of the horse first in their own work, and do their best to show us how to do the same.”—Silva Martin, US Dressage Team member
