We are once again coming upon the beginning of the riding season, and the start of our
Natural Horsemanship lessons. This year we are offering lessons to adults and children in either an individual format or the group option (2 to 5 students). Due to the nature of our program we can take riders of all levels and skill sets. Come learn with us and take not only your riding to new heights but your horse savvy as well!
What is Natural Horsemanship?
Natural Horsemanship is the study of horses and our interactions with them using the natural communication that horses use with each other. In our program we teach the students to use communication, understanding and psychology as opposed to the traditional tactics of force, fear and intimidation.
What will my child learn during the program?
The focus of our lesson program is to teach people to be safe while they have fun with horses. Students will learn to be perceptive to the horse's body language; riding, equipment care, handling and grooming as well.
How long are the lessons?
Our lessons are at least an hour long and occasionally run a bit longer. Students are encouraged to spend some time grooming and “hanging out” with their horse to develop their relationship and promote good horse stewardship.
How many students are in a class?
Group lessons will have 2 to 5 students at most, as we prefer to keep class sizes small for a more personal approach. Private lessons are also available.
Does my child require special equipment?
All students (18 and under) are required to wear approved head protection. We recommend that students purchase their own, but we will have helmets available for a minimal one-time rental fee. Foot wear with a heel are a must too, rubber boots will be fine.
