In a 3 hours class, students will meet the horse on the ground. Then through fun exercises you will establish a connection to the horse without fear or bribery. You will learn about the nature of the horse and refine your skills in inner and outer awareness. You will also develop intuition, self monitoring and being present.
Horses are masters of identifying what we need at any given moment. If we are in doubt or not clear of our intentions, the horse can educate us on how we are in the present moment. Horses excel as both teacher and guide. You may wonder, how does this happen? This is all possible through natural horsemanship classes.

Natural Horsemanship can be obtained naturally through understanding, love and leadership, rather than through force, fear and intimidation.
Through Natural Horsemanship, your horse will run faster and jump higher out of heart and desire.
This program is designed for beginners or experienced riders. Horses don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Then they will want to know how much you know.
