Summer Horse Experience

In my lessons program, I aim to teach proficiency in catching, grooming, hand walking, tacking up, lunging, and riding a horse without assistance or supervision. 

 

In this summer experience you will learn how to catch, halter, groom and lunge a horse on a line and in the round pen. You will be taught how to communicate with the horse and affect a change in direction by understanding body placement and non-verbal communication with the horse. These advanced horsemanship shills will be taught and include a 1 hour private riding lesson of your choice English or Western style, this will happen every day throughout the week.

 

You will be taught how to competently lead a horse through objects, over objects and through patterns. You will be able to recognizes potentially unsafe or hazardous circumstances both mounted and un-mounted. You will be able to tolerate unexpected changes in horses behavior. At the end of the week everyone will have the opportunity of experiencing bareback riding on a leadline.
