Something to aspire to:)

14/08/2024

Just a reminder the last camp of the season is this coming Monday! It is a horsemanship camp, dedicated to learning more about understanding how horses think, how to create a good relationship with a horse, more advanced horse care than the pony camps, and have fun with them while doing it! If you haven't booked in yet, please message or WhatsApp 085 1415555

More camp photos! Everyone learns to groom their own horses. On the last day of each camp, there is a competition for the best groomed horse. Considering the horses live outside most of the time, getting them clean can be quite the challenge!

It's lovely to be able to just call the horses, and have them come trotting in to go to work:)

Happy ponies headed down to the field at the end of the day:)

Just a reminder that today is the start of the introduction to natural horsemanship course. This is a great course for anyone who is nervous or anxious around horses, who wants to understand how they think and why they do what they do, or just wants to know more so they can use it to influence the horse to want to do what the handler/rider would like them to do. It is an 8 week course, starting tonight at 6pm. No riding, just groundwork. Please call or message 0851415555 if you would like to join the group

Here's an interesting challenge for the horsemanship gang!

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/i7thipTYwb7eYYqU/

08/05/2024

Introduction to natural horsemanship course starting May 21.

This is a class aimed at introducing people to the basics of natural horsemanship. It is to help students have a better understanding of how horses think and react, and how to influence their actions and reactions.
It is intended to improve the student's confidence and safety with horses, and teach empathy and understanding of the differences and similarities between horses and humans.

There is no riding in this course, it is all ground handling. Students may use their own horse or a lesson horse.
