Congratulations to Zone 9's Rachel Long of Horseshoe Bend, Idaho,

to read about the clinic.
"It was awesome. I learned so much from everybody. There wasn't one person I didn't learn from. I'm very excited to get home and use all these things and apply them to other horses and see the differences and similarities," Rachel Long said.
"I am very glad I came to audit," said Kayla Long. "I thought it was a great week. Even without riding I learned a lot. Listening to the workshops and thinking how it applied to my horse, it was really nice."
The Gold Star Clinics are available on demand at EQSports.net. USHJA members are eligible for a 50 percent discount by entering EQUSHJA2018 in the Redeem Coupon section.
