The Penn-Ohio Futurity offers a rare experience for a hands-on clinic with Jim Aikman. Aikman has been a leader in the Saddlebred community for decades and is undoubtedly one of, if not, the most successful colt man ever. Currently, he spends most of his time promoting his passion for American Saddlebred colts via the wildly successful All American Cup. He has won dozens of futurities and untold amounts of prize money. His technique is tried and true and works every time it's tried. Aikman wants to share his secrets and successes with clinic attendees. Anyone--owners, breeders, trainers or just fans--is encouraged to take advantage of this clinic. The clinic is appropriate for the amateur or the professional that would like to enhance the very specific skill of presenting the weanling or yearling in-hand.

The Aikman Advantage Clinic is specifically designed for colts that are being prepared to show in this falls futurity classes throughout the country. The clinic will be held on August 12, 2006, at the Champion Center in Springfield, OH. This is a good time to take your colt to the clinic and get the finishing touches put on just a few weeks before your state futurity. If you have already shown your colt, you too can bring your weanling or yearling and get ready for the next season. There will be colts available for those who do not bring a colt to use for the demonstration.

Aikman will offer those little tips that can take you from a fifth place to a first. Please register today, as space is limited.
