Showmanship Clinic May 18th

Here is another opportunity to learn more about showmanship:



Announcing our third annual showmanship clinic to be held at the Sandhill Vet. Clinic riding arena located on 2769 Sandhill road, Mason,Mich. 48854, on May 18th (third Saturday in May) for any and all youth who are interested in learning how to show goats, or just want to polish up their skills.

We will be dividing into three experience level groups. You can learn how to clip your goat, foot trim and vaccinate all in the same day. Bring your questions with you.

We will start at one O'clock and run until 4PM. No worries about the weather as we will be under cover. Clippers will be provided and hoof trimmers also.

This is an open invitation to all youth in the mid-Michigan area. BRING YOUR OWN ANIMAL. I will not be providing any "loaner" goats this year.

If you have questions, please call Jan Kelley at 517-646-8837. Pass the word along, we'd like to have a big turn out.


FYI...Mason is near Lansing. Google Map says it is 77 Miles or 1 hr 17 min from downtown GR.
