Due to the anticipated weather we are not able to hold the clinic at the club grounds. The original rain plan fell through due to unforeseen circumstances, but we have been able to work with another local barn that will hold a Ranch Riding Clinic at their location. To do this we are cancelling the MTRA clinic. Registered participants have been emailed with instructions on how to attend the new clinic or receive a refund. If you have questions you can email mailto:[email protected].

The new clinic will be held at Gray’s Equestrian located at 849 Post Rd, Bowdoinham, ME 04008, which is about 15 minutes from the club grounds. The clinic will run from 1-5pm on 5/17/25. Auditing is available for $10 a person, payable at the clinic. We apologize for any confusion.

We are continuing to watch the weather for Sunday, but right now it is looking okay. Final determination will be posted here tomorrow morning.
