Service Description
Join us for our Halloween themed edition of our flagship program, Horsemanship Over Obstacles! In addition to all the great content of our standard clinic, the Halloween edition includes preparing for, and showing off your best equine costumes! Whether you are new to working obstacles, are struggling with them, or are hooked, working obstacles the De Frates Horsemanship way will transform your partnership with your horse. Come for the fun and leave knowing how to tackle any obstacle you face in the future. This is our Introductory Obstacle Clinic appropriate for absolutely everyone (age 13+ please). We start on the ground learning the skills that will allow us to tackle any obstacle safely, move on to teaching your horse what to do when they are afraid, and progress from there. This clinic is suitable for both in-hand and in-saddle participation. In other words, you do not need to be able to ride to benefit from this clinic! In fact, you will often see our yearlings being used as demo horses. This clinic is a prerequisite if you wish to attend Obstacles Unleashed. Past participants tell us that this clinic is TRANSFORMATIVE and many choose to join us time and time again and again because, as with all our clinics, it is always about you, your horse, and where you are in your journey. We customize exercises, and the obstacles available at a clinic for that clinic's unique set of participants. All disciplines and all levels (age 13+) are welcome! Young horses welcome! Well behaved stallions welcome! Limited to just 10 participants to ensure you get plenty of 1:1 instruction and support. Clinic Length: 2 days - 9:00am - 4:00pm each day. Cost: $400 with a $50 nonrefundable deposit required to hold your spot. Overnight paddocks available for $15/horse/night. You clean, we feed your hay.

Cancellation Policy
A nominal deposit is required to hold your place in an event. This deposit is non-refundable but is transferable under certain conditions. See details below. Requests to reschedule, change events, or move your deposit to any other service we offer, can be accommodated up to 2 weeks prior to the event. You can transfer your booking to another individual at any time, but must notify us immediately. We would greatly appreciate at least 48 hours notice so we can properly prepare the new participant. We pride ourselves on providing extraordinary customer service to everyone that enters our gates. To that aim, we keep our clinics number small to ensure we get to know you and can provide you with plenty of 1:1 support. We also keep our fees as low as we possibly can to make our events more accessible. Requests to make changes to reservation within 2 weeks of the event are not transferable to another service unless we have an active waitlist for that event, and we are able to fill your spot. If you discover that you are unable to attend an event within the 2 week window, please reach out to us as soon as possible. We will do everything we can to help you fill your spot, but make no guarantees. This policy is one of the most generous in the industry and we appreciate your understanding. Frequent abuse of this policy will result in deposit forfeit. While we never want to have to do this, we do reserve the right to block repeat offenders as well.
