DEMONSTRATION HORSES
What would Horse World Expo be without horses? Demonstration horses are an important part of Horse World Expo, be they participants in Parade of Breeds, Stallion Avenue or any one of our numerous clinics or demonstrations. To ensure the safety of the demonstration horses, participants and the general public, only horses that have been approved in advance may be presented at Horse World Expo.

Ride with a Clinician
From time to time, opportunities are available to ride with, or have your problem horse worked by, one of our well-known clinicians. This is your opportunity to participate with an expert in the equine industry. To be considered for one of our clinics, please review our Schedule of Events. If you believe your horse will be right for any of our clinics or you would be interested in riding with one of our experts on your horse, please contact us via email and indicate which clinic you are interested in. We will then put you in contact with the appropriate person handling horses for that clinician. A fee may apply. Please note, you will need to wait until the current year Schedule has been posted before requesting to participate. The Schedule is usually posted about 45 days before our events. Priority to ride is given to riders who will already be attending the event with one of the many groups there for scheduled events due to stall availability limitations. Most clinicians provide or arrange their own horses, so availability to ride with a clinician is limited.
Clinician Horses
If you are a Horse World Expo clinician and will be bringing horses to the expo or you have been approved to bring a horse for a particular clinician please print all of the following forms, complete them and return them by the deadlines listed.
