Arizona Sun Circuit horse show’s free clinics, sponsored by Adequan, are popular with exhibitors as well as the general public. Presented by top pros who all have multiple World Champion titles under their belts, they offer specific, actionable information to help you improve your ride. They are also a great opportunity for riders to explore new disciplines and jumpstart the learning process. All clinics are audit only and there is no need to register. Sun Circuit competition runs March 1-10 at WestWorld in Scottsdale and events kick off on February 29 with the annual Hershberger Performance Horse Sale.
Father and son roping duo J.D. and Trey Yates will present a Roping Clinic on Thursday, Feb. 29 at 1:00, just prior to the start of the Hershberger Sale preview in the Equidome. J.D. has always ranked horsemanship first on his priority list and will show you how good riding and getting in the right position are crucial to roping success.

In this clinic, you will learn how winners earn those extra points, how to approach your run and how to show your horse to his fullest potential. Held in Cutting Arena 8, there will be plenty of demonstration and analysis of each move.
Also on March 1, Deanna Searles demonstrates the elegant refinement of Western Riding. This clinic will be held in outdoor Arena 4, aka the Ranch Fuel Arena at 1:00PM.
