How it works

Getting Started

01

Pick your day, pay online, done

Choose the two-day weekend, the Friday Professional Day, or an auditing pass. Your card holds the spot the moment you book — no forms to chase, no checks to mail.

02

Tell us your height and your horse

We group riders by the fences they are jumping so every session is genuinely at your level. Add a stall at checkout if you are hauling in for the weekend.

03

Show up and ride

Arrive an hour before your session. Bernie works the group on the flat first, then over fences. Bring the horse you actually compete.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What level do I need to be?

Every level from flat work through 3'3"+. Riders are grouped by the fences they are currently jumping, so you ride with people at your own stage. The Professional Day on Friday is the exception — that one is for professionals and advanced amateurs.

Do I have to ride both weekend days?

Yes. The weekend is sold as a two-day package because the second day builds directly on the first. If you can only make one day, the Friday Professional Day is sold on its own.

Can I bring my own horse?

Yes, and you should — bring the horse you actually compete. Overnight stabling is $50 a night and can be added at checkout. Bedding and hay are available to buy on site.

What is your refund policy?

Spots are refundable in full up to 30 days before the clinic. Inside 30 days we will refund your place if we can fill it from the waitlist, otherwise the fee is non-refundable — Bernie is booked and the spot is held for you. A vet certificate for a lame horse always gets a full refund.

What if it sells out?

The counter on each card is live. When a division reaches zero the button comes off and it stops taking payments — you will never pay for a spot that is already gone. Call the barn on 440-739-3726 to go on the waitlist.

Is the dinner really free for riders?

Yes. If you are riding in the clinic your dinner seat is included. The $30 ticket is for family and friends who come to watch and want to join the evening.
