The Rock'n Star Ranch
Clinics & Workshops
Being dedicated to educating horse owners, the Rock'n Star Ranch (in Pritchard/Kamloops BC) hosts a number of educational events each year between May and Nov. The clinicians we host have been hand picked to be sure that the opportunities we offer are creating a consistent experience for those who attend.
Edu- Vacations are limited to 4 riders (except by special request) to ensure maximum individualized attention and there will be a limit of 10-12 riders in the workshops in order to maintain an optimal learning experience for each horse/human partnership.
