We LOVE introducing kids and adults to Horses!
In this introductory class, we will
- learn to think like a horse and see how a horse sees us and the world around them
- work with our horse safely on the ground and in the saddle
- develop a balance of trust and respect so that our horse understands and listens to what we are asking him to do
- learn how to groom and saddle our horse to ride
- mounting and dismounting our horse safely
- riding with confidence and a centered seat
- turning and stopping our horse

Hooked on Horses

Are you or your cowpoke looking for more time connecting with a horse ?
After all, "Everything's Better at the Barn" (at least WE think so).
This class is a follow up to 101 or if you've taken some lessons with us already. Besides getting to know a new horse, we will work on a posting trot and some fun patterns. Your balance, confidence and control is sure to grow as we explore new horsemanship skills together.
