I know this topic has come up in the past but I wanted to gauge opinion regarding the popularity of clinics with big names. Personally I've done some in the past and some I have really enjoyed and taken a lot from, and others I've felt rather underwhelmed by. I've never had a bad experience, but perhaps questioned the value of some of them. At the moment I have a young horse who is coming on leaps and bounds with consistent and regular training with two people I trust - I would not take him to a clinic with a big name at this point in his training - however with an older more established horse I might....
So what are your views?
I'm helping a friend set up some clinics and we have been quite shocked by some of the prices being quoted. To even break even we would have to run groups of 4 and charge in the region of £50. Would you pay that for a session with a top rider? When I say top I mean Olympic standard. My view is to go for someone who is less of a name but with impeccable coaching credentials, she would rather host someone more high profile as she feels she would get more interest.
