Selection Process
- Complete applications with video are reviewed for selection.

Important Information
- Horses must arrive on Thursday between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
- Horses must stay on the grounds until 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
- Clinics will be conducted in areas where there are likely to be large crowds. Opportunities to warm up in the actual arena or other arenas may not be available. Please do not apply if you and/or your horse cannot function in such a setting.
- All participants must adhere to the Midwest Horse Fair Code of Conduct.
- Clinics conducted at Midwest Horse Fair may include multiple participants.
- Clinics are subject to change at the discretion of event management.
- It is the policy of the Midwest Horse Fair that if a scheduling conflict arises due to participation in multiple events, you or your group member must choose which event to attend. Special accommodations and refunds cannot be granted. Those who cancel last minute (within two weeks of the fair) and/or due to scheduling conflicts are less likely to be selected as participants in future Midwest Horse Fair events. Participants should apply for no more than THREE events.
- In the unlikely event that a clinician is unable to conduct their clinics as scheduled because of an unavoidable event (such as illness, accident, flight cancellation, death in family, etc.), Midwest Horse Fair will make every effort to retain another clinician of similar caliber to conduct clinics on the same topics as scheduled and clinic riders will not be given any refund of clinic fees. If for any reason, a suitable replacement cannot be retained and a clinic must be cancelled, participants will receive a refund of clinic fees.
