Mini Boot Camp News
2010 Mini Boot Camp dates coming soon - here's the months to give an idea of timeframe:
- May 2010
- September 2010
The Mini Boot Camp Workshop is designed to teach you on how to bring a miniature horse into the community, load and unload into mini-van's or trailers, work where ever the need is, and many other perfected hands-on techniques to help you start up an Equine Guided Interactions (EGI) program and how to start-up a non profit organization and how to make it run effectively.
After months of visiting with like organizations through-out the US and Canada in 2006-2009, we have fine-tuned our Boot Camp workshop. We believe this 4- day intensive hands-on class will send you home with dreams and goals for your own mini-horse or mini-donkey program.
This is a tuition based donation to Minis and Friends. Hotel and meals are not included; however we can assist with finding a specially priced hotel during your stay. We can also assist in the start-up of your 501c3 in guiding you to proper forms and other important details. Email Mini Boot Camp today on how we can help.
