What’s it really like to ride in Equine Affaire’s clinic participation program? Today, Allison and Glenn find out! First, Allison visits with Jojo, a bright and horse-crazy 12 year old who recently rode with Bronwyn Irwin at Equine Affaire aboard her own horse, Lulu. Then Allison chats with Taryn Homier, a nonpro Reiner and ranch rider who participated in clinics with Keith Ceddia and Mike Bednarek.
