Just do it! Next time Phil Mainey shows up at Careywood Creek Ranch to teach a Team Penning clinic, sign up asap. You will not regret the decision. We had a phenomenal experience with a very experienced Clinician. Fast paced with just enough of clearcut direction to give you aha moments. We cannot recommend doing this clinic enough. Many thanks to Robert Jolley for capturing this fun day.
