Marengo, IL- July 6, 2016- The Platinum Farm Horsemanship Clinic, hosted by trainer Sirena Liggett, has had a great response so riders will have to get to the barn early for a chance to ride with USEF “R” Licensed Official and USHJA Certified Trainer, Diane Carney. The clinic is scheduled for July 19, 2016 and is aimed at interscholastic and intercollegiate riders, educating them in the barn and in the saddle.

The clinic includes a riding portion in which riders will draw their horses, stable management, barn chores, and tacking. There will also be a written test and round table discussion with lunch included.

The clinic will start promptly at 6:30 am, offering 3 options for the clinic:

$150.00 Riding spot
Must be present at 6:30 am for barn chores. Riders will be divided into 3 groups.

$75.00 Non rider-all inclusive participation
