Horsemanship Program

 Horsemanship - NOT OFFERING CURRENTLY*

*as of 1/2018

Our Horsemanship Program is for the very beginning horse enthusiast who has had no prior interactions with horses and/or the individual who would like to ride but is perhaps intimidated by such a large animal.  The program consists of 6 1-hour lessons beginning with an introduction to our smaller miniature horses.  

In the first three lessons, students learn how to: 
  • safely move around and interact with horses 
  • interpret a horse's body language and understand how horses communicate
  • groom a horse, including currying, brushing and cleaning out the hooves
  • lead the horse, including obstacle courses
  • take "their" horse on a hike on our trail
  • tack up the horse

In the 6th lesson students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned with the miniature horses to one of our 
full-sized horses and, if they are comfortable (which they usually are!), they have a chance to get up in the saddle and take a ride around our ring!

Our Horsemanship Program can include up to 4 students per class.

Cost:  $100/lesson     $600/session
