Equine Affaire Invites Riders to “Ride With The Best” in W. Springfield, MA, This November

	Equine Affaire returns to the Eastern States Exposition, November 9–12, 2006, with a stellar roster of clinicians for the four-day exposition in W. Springfield, MA.  Horse enthusiasts of all breeds and disciplines will gather to attend more than 130 different clinics, seminars, and demonstrations conducted by coaches, competitors, trainers, and other industry experts representing a broad range of equestrian sports and topics.
	Selected riders also have the opportunity to enjoy the Equine Affaire experience at an even higher level by participating in clinics and demonstrations addressing specific disciplines and training challenges.  Several of this year’s clinicians are accepting horses and riders with a variety of backgrounds and skill levels for participation in their clinics at Equine Affaire.  Whether a rider is facing a stalemate in training, reaching for the next competitive level, or seeking to improve the human/horse relationship—there will be a clinic at Equine Affaire to address the need.  
      Clinicians who will be accepting horses and riders for their sessions at Equine Affaire are: Denny Emerson (eventing), Craig Cameron (general training & horsemanship), Cindy Sydnor (dressage), Sharon Camarillo (barrel racing & western horsemanship), Charles Wilhelm (general training &  horsemanship), Jeff Cook (hunters & jumpers), Dana Hokana (western pleasure), Cesar Parra, DDS (dressage), Muffy Seaton (driving), Linda Tellington-Jones (TTouch®), and Donna Snyder-Smith (Centered Riding® & distance competition). 
      Riding in a clinic is an invaluable opportunity to gain personal instruction from respected and trusted experts for an unusually modest clinic fee ($50 for a single clinic up to $150 for a two-part clinic).   The clinic fee includes admission to Equine Affaire as well as stabling on the day of the clinic.  Applicants are required to submit summary information and a video which Equine Affaire will forward to the appropriate clinician for review.  
	Interested riders can find clinic details and the Ride With The Best application on the Equine Affaire Web site at www.equineaffaire.com.  They may also request a Ride With The Best information packet—including an application, a summary of the clinics and fees, and a Clinic, Seminar & Demonstration schedule—by contacting Coagi Long at (740) 845-0085 ext. 114 or clong@equineaffaire.com.  The application deadline is September 8, 2006.
