Welcome to the Blue Ridge Cowboy Church in Fletcher, NC. One of the most exciting churches anywhere. If you like the cowboy culture, you'll love the
cowboy church! You don't have to be a cowboy to attend. Most people who come to cowboy church don't even own a horse. They tell me they come
because they like the relaxed atmosphere where they can be themselves, whether they have a Harley, or a horse, wear boots or suits, are divorced or
married, it just doesn't matter. It is a place you can feel welcome and right at home. Most folks who check us out end up staying. So come on down, check
out the Blue Ridge Cowboy Church, we believe you'll end up staying too! Every Tuesday evening at 7PM, at the WNC Ag Center 828-273-9635 or go to

29 - 30 - Abrasive Trim Clinics with Phil Morarre on the East Coast! April 29 Tuesday and April 30 Wednesday in Tryon, NC
Contact vikinghorserider@bellsouth.net
Day 1: The Basic Hoofcare Clinic is one day, 10am to 3:30pm. Attendees receive a two hour lecture on barefoot theory and hoof mechanics
followed by a half hour of discussion with a question/answer period. We then break for approximately a one hour lunch to allow the information
to sink in. Phil will be available during lunch to answer questions.
After the break, there will be a brief period for any additional questions that came up over lunch followed by about an hour
demonstration of the abrasive trim using a live horse. This trimming portion will be rich in explanation as to what is where and why Phil
trims the hoof the way he does. Basic technique using the grinder and how it is superior to the conventional tools is explained. Phil will
also demonstrate the "natural" way of horse handling specific to trimming.
Price for all day: $75* Price for morning lecture only: $40
Day 2: The Abrasive Trim Clinic is one day, 9am to 5:30pm (one hour lunch) and will start with a short lecture on natural trimming
guidelines as Phil sees them and a brief introduction to the abrasive trim concept. Then each participant will in turn trim their own horse
(recommended), or a borrowed one, under Phil's close supervision. He will trim the first foot while explaining the particulars for that
individual foot. The next two feet will be a joint effort, he will trim one half and the participant the other, this offers an easy visual
guideline for the person new to trimming. The last foot will be done by the participant alone but Phil will still be there to make suggestions
and to assure it is going correctly. So in effect each participant will be receiving a private lesson.
Price for Participants: $225 for local clinics. An additional travel charge of approximately 10% for participants and auditors will be added
for away clinics to help cover plane fare etc. Participant price includes a copy of the Abrasive Trimming DVD (a $35 value).
Price for auditing:$60, The Abrasive Trim Clinic DVD will be available to auditors for $30
