Apply to Host a Clinic
Thank you for your interest in hosting a Phil Haugen Horsemanship Clinic! As a clinic host, you work with our team to produce a top-notch clinic experience. Your primary role is to act as our local liaison to attract participants to the clinic, as well as to help us coordinate facility rentals, meals, and check-in at the clinic.
Before committing to host a clinic, it is a good idea to make a post on social media or get in touch with friends to see if you have 15+ people who would be interested in attending the clinic. Phil’s minimum requirement for public clinics is 15 riders. Tuition fees range from $700-800/rider depending on location, facility fees, and travel expenses.

FAQs for Clinic Hosts
-
Clinic hosts are responsible for arranging facility rentals for the dates approved by Phil Haugen Horsemanship. Phil will cover facility rental fees (i.e. arena, lights tractor). Participants will be responsible for any fees associated with stalls and electrical hookups. If any deposits, contracts or proof of insurance are required upon booking, please email info@philhaugenhorsemanship.com, and we will forward the required information to the facility.
-
Phil Haugen Horsemanship will handle all clinic registrations, deposits, and transfers through our online registration portal. Once registration has been activated for your clinic, we will provide you with a link to the online registration page for your event that may be shared with prospective participants. Registrations are taken on a first come first served basis, so if you have specific people in mind to ride in the clinic, we recommend sharing the link privately with them first.
-
Riding spots in each clinic are limited to give each student optimal time for both group and one-on-one instruction with Phil. As a host, you work alongside Phil Haugen Horsemanship to attract a minimum of 15 riders to your event. This minimum must be met in order for Phil to travel to your location. We accept no more than 18 riders in each clinic to preserve the quality of the group clinic experience and provide adequate time for all riders to receive personalized instruction.
-
Riding spots range from $700-800 per rider depending on the clinic location, and audit-only spots are $125/day.
-
All riding and auditing spots include daily lunches, a workbook, and access to ride in and/or watch the clinic, depending on the tuition package selected. All participants will be able to participate in daily roundtable discussions with Phil as well.
-
Yes! Once the 15 rider limit is reached, we will convert the online registration page to a waitlist format. If any riding spots become available, we will manage all waitlist transfers and upgrades through our online Clinic Student Portal. If you have any individuals who would like to join the waitlist, please refer them to your original registration link.
-
While many of our clinics fill within days or weeks of opening registration, there is always the possibility that the clinic does not fill as quickly as we’d like it to. If we are within 30 days of your clinic date and your clinic has not met the minimum number of riding students (15), we will contact you to discuss options moving forward. Each clinic is unique, so options will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
-
With the registration link, we will also send you a link to a Google Spreadsheet that will act as a running list of participants for the clinic. You can view this list at any time to see who has registered for the clinic. Once your clinic fills, we will notify you that we are shifting registration to a waitlist format. Auditing registration will remain open after the riding spots have filled.
-
Clinic hosts are responsible for making lunch arrangements for all participants, auditors and instructor(s). A final head count will be given to you approximately 1-2 weeks prior to the clinic so you can plan accordingly. Some hosts also choose to have coffee, donuts, drinks, and snacks available throughout the day; however, this is not required.
-
We reserve one riding spot for our hosts in exchange for coordinating the event, so there is no need to register yourself! As an incentive for filling your clinic to our minimum of 15 riders, clinic hosts will receive one free riding spot tuition (valued at $600). As the host, you may use the spot for yourself, transfer it to a family member / friend, or sell the spot. If your clinic has not met the minimum of 15 riders, you always have the option to register yourself as a paid rider to meet the minimum for Phil to travel to your location.
-
If we request a demo horse for Phil to ride during the clinic, you will need to line up a horse that is suitable for demonstration purposes. This can be anything from a well-behaved colt to an older, more seasoned horse. If you have questions regarding the demo horse, you can contact Phil directly at 580-772-4296.
