The events I have scheduled so far this year include the following:
Equine Affaire, Columbus, OH: April 10-13. The Gaits of Gold crew and I will be in booths C-903-906 in the Celeste building. I generally present here every other year, and this year will not be giving public presentations. However, I spend hours every day in the booth, answering customers' questions one-on-one. I generally give a couple of small workshops there, as well. We always have a wonderful time!

TESTIMONIAL
"I just wanted to thank Brenda and her team for the opportunity to be in her clinics at the Pomona Equine Affaire. I had no idea what to expect, and cannot express how happy I am with the results. While I did not see a great transformation in my horse in the two days, I received specific tools and excercises to work on, plus received a lot of equitation tips to improve my riding. Now that I am home and practicing, I can already see a big difference in my horses' way of gaiting. I also feel confident that my horse is more comfortable in his new tack and now I can give him no excuses not to get down to work and get that run-walk!
Again, everyone in your team was wonderful! I felt I got a lot of special, very patient attention which will serve me well now that I am home. Brenda, I hope to send you a video sometime this year with my newly muscled up horse doing a great run-walk--you will have trouble remembering ever seeing him before.
Best of luck with your "mission" and thank you again for the great opportunity you gave us."
Linda and Little Bit (spotted saddle horse.)

Time Schedule - Learn how the time structure works at a Gaits of Gold, Inc. Clinic.
- Day 1: Clinics begin at 7 p.m. on the evening of the first day. This is an educational get acquainted session between Brenda and clinic riders. Observers are encouraged to attend this session, as much valuable groundwork is laid. However, questions and comments from observers are restricted to days two and three of the clinic.
- Day 2: begins at 9 a.m, horses should be haltered but not saddled until after evaluations.
- Day 3: begins at 9 a.m., when participants begin session at the point of their individual progress from the previous day.
Due to many requests, we now offer non-clinic attendees the opportunity to try the Imus 4-Beat saddles at clinic sites. Saddle fitting/evaluation sessions run from noon till 5 p.m. on day one, and are offered again after completion of the clinic on day three (time varies, but usually from approx. 3-6 p.m.) Those wishing to bring a horse for the purpose of trying a saddle are responsible for all arrangements for the horse, so be sure to check with the clinic contact person/arena management in advance to arrange for parking, stabling, etc. It is highly recommended that anyone desiring to evaluate our products attend the clinic as a paid observer, as you will witness for yourself how they work to improve the horses. Seeing is believing!
Clinic Fees:
- $375.00 per horse/rider or $350.00 if paid in full 3 weeks prior.
Auditor Fees (to watch)
- $25.00 per day or $60.00 for the 3 day weekend if paid in full 3 weeks prior.
