Please Note: Registration is presently filled for the 1998 workshop.
We will take "standby" registrations to fill cancellations.
We are also attempting to secure a larger venue to accomodate more people.
This is your official notification and information site for the
Wild Horse Workshop '98. It will be constantly updated as the
schedule gets refined and as we determine on specifically what
dates and times the various modules will be held. It appears at this time
that Frank Bell and Sgt. Atwood (US Calvary) will be among the guest clinicians.
Due to the volume of registrants we will need to get some
preliminary idea as to what kind of accomodations (e.g., horse
housing, RV hookups, etc.) we will need to provide.
A link will be provided later on this page for you to register.
Registration is not any form of obligation and if your situation
or plans change, we can delete you from the signup list at any
time. The primary purpose here is to get a handle on certain
logistic needs so that we can stay organized.
Also please note that due to the growing size of the event, we are
considering a a change of venue.
Schedule of Events
Please note that specific dates for many activities are tentative at this time.
Specific times will be provided for each module as we get closer to the workshop.

Preliminary Registration
We need to plan in advance on who will want to participate on a
"hands on" basis, who will be bringing horses and who will need
RV space on the ranch. We can accomodate tents fairly easily,
but the ranch isn't very large so we need to plan ahead with
respect to the physical dimensions of RVs so we can make room for
everyone and have water and power in the locations where the RVs
will have room to park.
Please use the following email links to register or modify your
registration. Please let us know the following. (I don't have a
tricky internet form made out yet!)
How many in your party?
How many will be participating "hands on" (versus just watching)?
Will you need RV space? If so, what is the size of your rig?
Will you need motel accomodations? If so, how many rooms?
(We will soon publish a list of nearby motels and their rates.)
Are you bringing horses? If so, how many? Are there any special housing needs?
Do you or anyone in your party have any special dietary needs (e.g.,, vegetarian, etc.)?
(And this is kind of important!)
Your full name, address and telephone number so we can send you the paperwork!
Please remember that this information is preliminary at this point and that this
information sheet will be constantly updated as the verious elements of this program
fall into place.
