How it works

Getting Started

01

Pick your day, pay online, done

Choose the two-day weekend, Friday Professionals, Friday Academy Riders, or an auditing pass. Your card holds the spot the moment you book — no forms to chase, no checks to mail.

02

Tell us your height and your horse

We group riders by the fences they are jumping so every session is genuinely at your level. Add a stall at checkout if you are hauling in for the weekend.

03

Show up and ride

Arrive an hour before your session. Bernie works the group on the flat first, then over fences. Bring the horse you actually compete.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What level do I need to be?

Every level from flat work through 3'3"+. Riders are grouped by the fences they are currently jumping, so you ride with people at your own stage. The Professional Day on Friday is the exception — that one is for professionals and advanced amateurs.

Do I have to ride both weekend days?

Yes. The weekend is sold as a two-day package because the second day builds directly on the first. If you can only make one day, the Friday Professional Day is sold on its own.

Can I bring my own horse?

Yes, and you should — bring the horse you actually compete. Overnight stabling is $50 a night and can be added at checkout. Hay and bedding are available for an additional cost.

What is your refund policy?

Spots are refundable in full up to 30 days before the clinic. Inside 30 days we will refund your place if we can fill it from the waitlist, otherwise the fee is non-refundable — Bernie is booked and the spot is held for you. A vet certificate for a lame horse always gets a full refund.

What if it sells out?

Divisions are capped and they filled quickly last June. Call the barn on 440-739-3726 to check what is left in your division, or to go on the waitlist if yours is already full.
