Subject matter varies depending on interest, but has included Sports Psychology, Show Preparation, Showmanship, A Judge's Perspective of Horse and Rider, Equitation and Hunter clinics, and Vet Care. We encourage student's input on the types of clinics they would like to participate in or observe.

The first board posts general information about lesson schedules, summer camp, CHA certification, and necessary school horse information. The second board keeps you up to date on fun activities including parties, special events, and notes from former students and Loftmar friends. The third board keeps you informed on upcoming show series, equitation team news, and scheduled clinics.
