NPHA Clinic
NPHA is proud to announce that we are running a clinic on the day after the NPHA 2008 Pleasure Celebration concludes, Monday 22nd September, 2008, with our judge Mr Rob Meneely.
As most competitors are staying on at SIEC for the Q8 National Show we felt we would take the opportunity to hold a 4 hour clinic on the first rest day in between the two shows. The clinic will be starting at 9am and concluding at 1pm. Rob Meneely is an expert trainer specialising in Youth and Amateur events.
The cost for riders is $75 and the cost for fence sitters is $25.
Please fill in the clinic application form and send it in with payment to the address supplied.
Be quick as there is a limited number of riders spots available.
