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!
Some of the things we'll work on include...
-
Language and psychology of the horse
-
body position and ground work
-
Using your legs and body to communicate with your horse
-
How to figure out what your horse is thinking
-
Learning balance while doing a slow sitting trot.

Hooked on Horses
Ages 8-12
Is your cowpoke HOOKED ON HORSES? This time at the barn will get them their weekly feel good vibes going!
Cowpokes in this class must have a little previous experience - ridden in a Ranch Camp, Boots 'n Saddle Level 1 or Horsemanship 101. This will be a ton of fun as we will continue to work on the proper techniques and communication with our horse but we will also play games on horseback!
Riding down to the river and enjoying the beautiful prairie coming alive for Spring on the back of a horse will make this connection time truly amazing!
