Clinics and Seminars
As any horse owner will tell you, “They never stop learning.” The Inland NW Horse Expo has a very strong component of Equine educational sessions in the Arenas and on the Seminar Stage.  You will have the opportunity to learn from world class Clinicians like Richard Shrake and Joan Curtin.  These types of demonstrations, information, and insights would cost you hundreds of dollars to learn in private training sessions.  Our seminars will include Equine Health, Judging Secrets, Back Country Riding and more. 
Whether you stay for them all or come for just one or two, you will walk away better informed and prepared to be a responsible and knowledgeable horse owner.
