We've put together a few documents to help steer our amazing hosts in the right direction and answer questions.  Click on the button for the PDF document.

Dates

Have a look at our website workshop page and have your calendar in front of you. Find some potential dates. 

• Workshops are 3 or 4 days in duration, generally running Thursday/Friday through Sunday (or Friday/Saturday through Monday if that works for holidays)
• You can host your workshop at Amazing Horse Country too!  For the most economical deal, you can have the entire 7 Tails Guest Ranch to yourself, including the cabin and guest rooms - check that out here.

Locations

Scott is willing to travel anywhere - and we mean ANYWHERE!  For workshops out of driving distance, for example: another country, you'll be responsible for booking a return flight ticket for Scott.  In this case we won't be able to bring obstacles, however if you're interested in a Partnership Workshop, we can provide a list of obstacles you can build easily and cheaply.  

 

Secure a Venue

You may be an arena manager or owner.  If so, great!  You already have a place to host the workshops.  If not, that's not a problem either.  Simply speak to the manager of the arena you ride at.  Likely, they'll be interested in hosting a workshop OR you can act as the host by renting the facility.

The venue must be large enough to accomodate 8 people, their horses and our obstacles (for an obstacle workshop).  For the Progressive Workshops, Scott works with one person at a time so less space would be required.  Our arenas are 85x200 and 100x200 and those are ample. We've used smaller arenas equally well.

We require a classroom space suitable enough to for a projector, screen and chairs for all participants.

Costs and Payments

Important notes:

• The following Rate Schedule applies to any workshops booked (meaning the deposit has been paid) between November 1, 2026 and March 1, 2027.
• G.S.T. will be added to costs shown.

For Group Workshops hosted at the AHC Ranch:

• A small service charge of $11 per day per horse. This helps us with the costs and maintenance of facility use (pens, arenas, trails, water, manure service, etc).
• Just let us know how many horses will be attending and we'll adjust your invoice.

For Hosted Workshops not at the AHC Ranch:

• Mileage rate is $0.70/km while diesel is above $2/l.

We'll send you an invoice when the workshop is booked. That invoice will be updated when your deposit is received. Receipts for all payments will be issued. All invoices have our GST number on them.

Discount Program for regular hosts:

We want to show our thanks to those that regularly host workshops at their facilities.  For those that have hosted more than 3 or more workshops in the last 5 years, we'd like to thank you with the following:

• 4 day workshop discount (Partnership, Foundation, Liberty): $350
• 3 day workshop discount (Partnership, Foundation, Liberty): $250
• 4 day workshop discount (Progressive): $230
• 3 day workshop discount (Progressive): $165

For the Progressive Workshops, 5 people make the ideal group size.  These are 100% 1-on-1: Scott works with one person at a time.  A person can have up to 2 slots as long as they are not consecutive.  Having a spot in the morning and another after a lunch break works the best.

For the Parnership, Practical Liberty and Foundation Workshops, 8 people are the ideal group size (max 10 for the Partnership).  

All workshop participants MUST attend each day. Although the itinerary is not rigid, the workshops are progressive in nature, that is, we start with basics and build up from there.  It is not possible to start the workshop over because someone missed the first day. If anyone asks if they can skip the first day the answer is no.  Clinic spots cannot be shared between two people for the same reason.

Anything we missed? Let us know!

Looking forward to seeing you this fall, winter or spring!

Scott and the AHC Team
