Not having an arena space reserved just for the clinic was one of the very few deal-breakers back when I was a clinic organizer. Bad footing or no dedicated clinic space and the facility got crossed off the list.

I think all the repetitions of the phrase "the reiners have the right of way" really meant that for some reason the whole place was catering to this guy. And I watched him do the same stuff to boarders and also saw boarder/riders defer to him or ride with one eye on him all the time as if expecting him not to respect their space.

Rudeness is one thing, but setting up other riders and horses for possible injury and then teaching same to a new generation is something else. I hope this idiot didn't impact your experience too negatively. It sounds like your clinician was a real gem. Wow.

Also, how does he even sit in a saddle, if his personal equipment is as big as he thinks it is? Ahem. Kind of surprising that place still gets any business besides this fellow at all?

I've concluded that the place was run by the Clampetts. Old Jethro there kept slipping his "foreign" accent. It must have truly rankled that the clinician had a real one, and was a real trainer, too.

And I would have to complain to the manager as well as have all the one's at your clinic do the same.. To bad an idiot like that it in a teaching position..if you want to call it that.
