Hosting Advanced Workshops 2020
1. Select a venue - use your local knowledgeFind a suitable venue we can hire - possible venues are country race tracks, showgrounds or private venues.The best venue provides an undercover trimming area and a power point presentation room within close proximately to each other. Otherwise it is too difficult to manage horses, security and time.The power point presentation is best done in a room away from bright light, however we can set up in a dark corner of an indoor or the breezeway of a stable block if it is dark enough to project a power point presentation. Participants are asked to bring their own chairs. We need several tables but can bring them ourselves if needed.We always need a safe undercover option for tying up 6-10 horses, well spaced for trimming ie: an arena or stable block. This is so the workshop can go ahead in all weather conditions.During the morning theory session, we need to make sure the horses are secure and gates are shut to nearby roads. Remember to make sure there is adequate all weather parking for all cars and floats. You will need to advise us of any specific venue instructions to pass on to participants, ie: horse owners to remove manure and clean stables; any yard or stabling costs and camping fees etc.
2. Help provide morning and afternoon teaWe ask that you enquire if there is an urn and cups at the venue. We bring tea and coffee. Could you please bring milk and something nice for morning and afternoon tea. If an urn and cups are not available let us know and we will bring them. Please communicate with us about this in advance.
3. Assist to promote /advertise the eventWe provide all of the advertising material for you to use. Use your local knowledge of the best places for us to advertise, ie: papers, newsletters, email, chat sites, etc and provide us with contacts. Put up the posters we supply in saddleries, feed stores, etc.We advertise on our website, Facebook and in Horse Deals and other publications. Advertise yourself on your social media, but please check the details and information we provide first.
