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!
