Jenny and Tony Vaught Clinic 

Benefiting the Regional Fox Trotting Horse Foundation

Join Jenny and Tony Vaught at the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association (MFTHBA) World Headquarters in Ava, Missouri this July for a Versatility Clinic.

Brush up your horsemanship skills and learn techniques for precision riding needed to excel in any arena but focused specifically on versatility classes and ranch classes like those at the MFTHBA World Show and Celebration...in the very ring where it happens!

Clinic Information

Each day of the clinic will include groundwork and time in the saddle.  Whether you are just getting started or an accomplished rider, this clinic will help you develop your skills and build a better horse. 

Saturday will focus on transitions, stops, maneuvers critical to success in pattern work (such as pivots and side passing). 

Sunday will focus on setting your horse up for success in ranch horse classes including ways to improve your skills and practice without a cow.  As an added bonus, this portion of the clinic will include a basic roping lesson for those interested in getting started with ranch horse classes.

The skills developed over this two-day clinic will help you improve your score in the ring, build a better trail partner, and advance your horsemanship skills.
