Horsemanship, Stable Management
&
Equine Care Programs

Participants gain a sound understanding of basic horsemanship. We don’t hurry through the basics to get to riding horses – in fact there is no riding involved in our sessions. We focus on LEARNING

about horses, their history, how horses communicate with one another and with each of us. And we explore how horses can help us to improve our skills and build confidence by learning

something new. The opportunity to learn, individually or in small groups (no more than three students per horse and facilitator) means that we can take the time to demonstrate and explain

basic horse anatomy, communication and how to care for horses; all of the important skills you would need to proceed to riding, leasing, owning or working with horses, or to simply enjoy

interacting with them.
