Interactive Horse Skills in Junior Trainer Seminars
Many of our clients express interest in how the horses are trained. In response, we developed our Junior Trainer seminars. We explore why horses do what they do and how we can relate to them on their level, using their language. We use methods and activities drawn from many of the most popular horse trainers, including Pat Parelli, Chris Erwin, Monty Roberts and others well-known in the field. Horse evolution, Natural Horsemanship skills, and bareback riding—emphasizing control of the animal through legs and seat—are the foundation of our beginning classes. Novice classes include “join-up," round-pen methods and more advanced natural horsemanship skills.
