Bonding, learning how to communicate with and riding a horse takes passion. Sometimes, it even requires stepping out of your comfort zone! It doesn’t matter how old you are or if you’re a little nervous, horses are incredibly forgiving and understanding animals!
Let us introduce your cowpoke to the world of horses in a safe and encouraging environment!
Some of the things we'll work on include...
-
What a horse is thinkin'!
-
Trust and Respect in ground work
-
Using legs and body to communicate with a horse
-
Learning to sit a trot and post to a trot
-
Confidence in being the leader with a horse

Hooked on Horses!
Once you get in the saddle for the first time and feel the amazing power and beauty of a horse underneath you, you don't want to quit! This class is just for YOU! It is a follow up to the Horsemanship 101 class or a camp that you may have done in the past!
We want to continue learning how to get better with communicating with our horses, and in being the leader that our horse is looking for. We will practice this on the ground and in the saddle - riding in the arena, working individually and if the weather allows, we will head on outside into the wide and open spaces and ride to the river!
