INTRO TO HORSEMANSHIP $440 for 8 Sessions 

This is an 8 week course with 45 min sessions, set up to teach you everything from equipment used, groundwork, horse health, rider safety, horse psychology, and proper riding through a hands on training approach we use ourselves daily.

RIDER STRENGTH & SEAT POSITION $275 for 5 Sessions 

This is a 5 week course with 45 min sessions, set up to strengthen your overall seat. Knowing where your legs should be and how to use them along with developing a strong core, we can adjust where you ride in the saddle. We practice exercises that are focused on you and how the horse reflects your position. This is an intense course that requires an already developed seat.

​

 

COMMUNICATION & FEEL $225 for 5 Sessions

This 5 week course with 30 min sessions, set up for those who want to interact with horses but do not necessarily wish to ride. It is also great for new horse owners or those who lack groundwork skills. We practice communicating to the horse on and off a lead in a round pen. You will learn how the horse processes thoughts, how they respond to our body movement, basic chemistry, and the learning process. By the end of the course, you will be able to control your horse's feet with no equipment on. This is one of our client favorites as they develop a new bond and gain a better understanding of the horse.
