What makes a good clinic? Spring is coming and around here that means the beginning off the clinic season. I always wonder how people make their decision on which or what type of clinic to chose. Is it the clinic topic, the clinician, the location, the price? What do you think is the optimum clinic size? Cost? Features?

Should be someone who is better at the given topic than I am.

Funny story. I'm doing a "mini clinic" for a local horse rescue. They are supported by a great volunteer base, but new volunteers don't always have a horse background. So I am teaching a groundwork/ safety clinic. It is targeted towards folks with little to no experience
If I go to a clinic, the first consideration is topic. Location and price are next.

People seem to be saying price is a consideration. I am wondering what is a good price today? And I would think that the number of riders would also be figured into price. For example, would a clinic with 10 riders at $100 for a one day clinic be more attractive or a clinic with 5 riders at $200 for the day assuming the same clinician?

For example, would a clinic with 10 riders at $100 for a one day clinic be more attractive or a clinic with 5 riders at $200 for the day assuming the same clinician? It kind of depends. I have (and would again) spent $400+ at a 2 day cow work clinic. I would NOT pay that much for a "dry work" clinic. The cows are spendy. Of course, if I had the money and the horse to do it....I would spend $1500+ to go have a weekend clinic with Al Dunning. He and I have met...and he called me a "sweet little thing". He's a doll. I'm not little, at 5'9".
