Horsemanship 101
Learning to communicate with your horse - either on the ground or in the saddle - is one of most rewarding and empowering feelings that a child cexperience! Our horses are relaxed even when their riders are excited and nervous while our environment is encouraging, upbeat and uplifting!
We LOVE kids AND 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
