Monthly Study Groups

Every month, we meet in person for learning, discussion and experience in various areas of holistic horse wellbeing. Expect a little science, a lot of conversation, and hands-on work with some fine horses. These groups are rigorous, welcoming to all, and highly supportive of your personal practice in horsemanship and horse care.

Horses 101 Reframed: Handling, Psychology, Functionality

Horses 101 is the clinic we’ve always wanted to teach. This two-day unmounted clinic is extremely practical, richly experiential, and includes a deep dive into strong foundational principles for relational horsemanship. Finding appropriate relationship with horses, and being able to witness horses authentically, is the first step in almost every other process we want to engage them with.

Clinic topics include:

• the nature of the horse,

• building safety and trust

• principles of excellent horse handling

• the importance of movement

• recognizing and responding to challenges

Start, refresh or hone your skills in understanding, communicating and collaborating with horses in an environment where where everyone is given agency to collaborate in the process. This clinic is designed for absolute beginners, seasoned horse people, and everyone in between.
