Come and learn our horses became so quiet and co-operative while retaining their spirit. Although our horses do lessons, they are apt to break a fence to come INTO a lesson. And people comment that they look happy. That there is a light in their eyes! They do what they do because they want to do it. And when you can get to that point in your relationship with your horse – it is an amazing partnership.
Whether you are an aspiring horse trainer, or simply need help with your own horse, this training week is for you. It’s totally informative and totally exhausting. But after your survive this intense training week Boot Camp, your understanding and horsemanship will have moved to a whole new level.
We learn as much from watching other horses and riders work as from working with our own horse. And if you don’t have a horse to participate with, that’s OK too as auditors take an incredible amount away from this intensive training week! As an added bonus, we will be riding at least an hour each day – and these hours can count toward your Centered Riding Rider level making this an inexpensive and concentrated way to gain hours. You can find out more about Centered Riding rider levels at Centered Riding – Rider Member
Each day begins at 9am with an information session/planning meeting for the day – and is followed by intensive training work – both mounted and unmounted. We will have horses at every training level from youngsters being started under saddle for the first time, horses learning to drive and more advanced horses that need finishing. We will be doing some intensive desensitizing on Sunday so your horse can become totally dependable. It is a great week. It is exhausting! But we get a LOT done!
When you see how quickly they come with our gentle methods, you’ll be impressed. You may not become a horse trainer in one week – but this one week will contain a LOT of information. We hope you will join us.
