Actually a fair number of clinicians do take in horses to train. They tend 
to be ones that have resident students or big home barns with staff though. 
I wouldn't want to send my horse to a clinician who was on the road all the 
time. When would he be training my horse?

Consider the economics as well. Clinicians pull in several thousand dollars 
for a single weekend. How many horses would they have to train to make what 
the popular clinician makes in a month? And, how many people would be able 
to get a horse trained by that clinician? How many, in fact, would have 
heard of him, had he not BEEN a clinician?

Clinicians give clinics because there's a market. Because people want to 
know what that person knows. Some people teach others to ride better. Some 
teach people to train horses. I don't see why that's so suspect.
