Join us for lessons on all things horses: anatomy, hoof care, first aid, grooming, handling, groundwork, training and more! Riding is an optional goal we can work towards, however both the horse and the rider must opt in and we will move very slowly under saddle. If you're looking to ride right away or compete, we are not the best option for you! We use awareness based mustang training techniques to create a two way communication between horse and handler. What does that look like? Maybe we ask the horse to step up to the mounting block and touch a target if/when they are ready to be ridden. We also use "get off my back" cues so if a horse is done with the ride, he can let the rider know. There's such joy in knowing that your horse has chosen to be ridden when given the option, under no threat of punishment, pressure, or aversive aids. This program is great for timid horse lovers, those who lack confidence, or people who have anxiety about riding but truly love the magic of horses. It's also a great option for those who have taken riding lessons in the past but didn't feel great about the "show him who's boss" mentality seen throughout the equestrian industry.
