Horsemanship Lesson Series 

Horsemanship is way more than just riding; it is the skill of handling horses on the ground and in the saddle. Riding is practically the smallest piece of the equation. To succeed with horses and be a good horseman or horsewoman is to be a real student of the horse. You must be positive and flexible on your journey of never-ending self-improvement. 

​

Natural horsemanship teaches you to know horses mentally, emotionally, and physically. Over time, it advances your horse behavior knowledge and training skills, allowing you to solve problems on the ground and in the saddle.

​

No matter how you get here, learning the basics is paramount. In the beginning, you will learn how to be around a horse safely, groom, saddle, and prepare them on the ground.

​

Our horsemanship series comprises six two-hour lessons introducing how these magnificent animals think so you understand life from a horse's perspective.

​

Each Horsemanship-101 lesson has three components: reviewing and discussing reading assignments, watching your instructor perform the task, and then practicing the skills on the ground or in the saddle yourself. By completing Horsemanship 101, you'll be ready to continue the remarkable journey of being with these amazing creatures, whether embarking on an adventure with your personal horse or continuing it with us through Horsemanship-201 & Beyond! Somewhere, somehow, we all started our fascination with these beautiful animals. Let us help you explore what's possible.
