All Round Equine

Our training focuses on creating a dialog, building confidence and ensuring the safety of both the rider and horse. All Round Equine offers students of all types a variety of ways to experience and learn more about our equine friends. Our empathic training focuses on creating a dialog, building confidence and ensuring the safety of both the rider and horse. Horses help us understand ourselves in a

way we may not have yet experienced. Horses help us make connections between our minds and our bodies which can promote feelings of relaxation and joy. Horses offer us immediate honest feedback which promotes self - awareness in a gentle yet profound manner. All Round Equine Programs

Equine Facilitated Social Intelligence Sessions – The SPUR Model – An EFSI (Equine Facilitated Social Intelligence) session consists of playing a game with a horse – mounted or on the ground. The game is structured to metaphorically address and illustrate a behavioral or emotional issue. Horses, due to their abilities to read the herd and mirror behaviors, offer youth suffering from negative behaviors (i.e., anxiety, depression, angry outbursts, belligerence, etc.) a meaningful experience that will help them heal and evolve. Holly spent over two years apprenticing with SPUR’s author Johnny Clark at the Tulsa Boys’ Home and is certified to facilitate EFSI (Equine Facilitated Social Intelligence) learning sessions with students of all ages and therapy sessions in collaboration with licensed social workers, therapists and counselors.

Groundwork and Round Pen Lessons - Getting to know your horse while not in the saddle and learning how to communicate clearly and in harmony with your horse is the foundation of your relationship. Groundwork can help expose and address miscommunications and misunderstandings. Learning the basics of groundwork will help you develop a dialog with your horse that will enhance your relationship both on the ground and in the saddle. Building trust and confidence, developing timing and the ability to read your horse’s every move are the goals of this training. Our horse or your horse $35 for 30 minutes

Mustang Transition Training – Whether you’ve gotten a W.H.I.P. trained or just outright untrained Mustang, you and your new horse will benefit from learning the basics of communication and care.

All Round Equine offers training for horse and people that helps both species create a safe, respectful and meaningful relationship with the other. Our horse or your horse $35 for 30 minutes

Positive Reinforcement Training – An effective and fun skillset to learn and practice. Watch as your horse anticipates his work eagerly and responds enthusiastically to your cues. Cleverly disguised as “playing” the R+ exercises you and your horse learn together will enhance your relationship and increase your ability to communicate. A firm foundation in R+ Training helps you solve communication gaps, holes in training and offers solutions to common problems (unwillingness to load, clip, tie, bathe, anxious / nervous behavior, etc.).

Cancellation and Make-Up Policy

We understand that life is full of unforeseen circumstances and we want to accommodate as many of you as possible. Considerable time goes into planning and scheduling lessons and reserving horses for riders, therefore we ask that you please give us as much advance notice as possible if you need to cancel a lesson for any reason. Any cancellations made with more than 24-hour notice will not incur any fees and can be rescheduled subject to availability. Cancellations made with 24-hour or less notice (for any reason) will result in you being charged for that lesson. We will not be able to schedule another lesson until that fee is paid. A “No Call, No Show” – student does not cancel lesson and does not show up for it – will result in the student being charged for that lesson. If you are ill, your household is ill, suspect you might be ill, have been exposed to COVID or diagnosed with COVID, STAY HOME and please let us know as soon as you possibly can. Cancellation policies still apply. All Round Equine reserves the right to cancel any lesson at any time for any reason. Any lessons cancelled by All Round Equine will be rescheduled at the rider’s convenience. We reserve the right to dismiss any student due to chronic cancellations, tardiness, frequent rescheduling and/or “no call no shows”. Cancellations may be made by phone or text. About the Weather
Our facility is outdoor, so we are subject to the whims of Oklahoma weather. We keep a close eye on Tulsa weather stations and try to be as proactive as possible to make sure our students’ lessons are safe and enjoyable for both horse and rider. In the Spring, Summer and Fall months, we will schedule lessons in the mornings and evenings and will not conduct lessons if the heat index is forecasted to be over 100 degrees Fahrenheit at the scheduled lesson time. In the Spring, Fall and Winter months we will not conduct lessons if the forecasted temperature is less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit at the scheduled lesson time. Students are expected to dress accordingly for the weather. Cancellations made by students with less than 24-hour notice due to perceived discomfort are subject to the full lesson fee being charged. We will not endanger our students or horse by conducting lessons during rain storms, lightning, thunderstorms, blizzards or any other kind of severe weather. We promise to communicate with you as soon as we can and reschedule your lesson for a safer time.

All Round Equine may cancel your lesson because of rain or severe weather, horse illness, or any other occurrence beyond our control. We will work diligently to get you rescheduled as soon as possible. All Round charges a $25.00 cancellation fee for all cancellations that occur with 18 hours of the appointed time. All students must sign a liability release (parent or guardian signs for minors). Mounted students must wear ASTM rated helmets. All students must wear approved footwear and long pants for their sessions regardless of whether the session is mounted or on the ground. Students of all ages may bring up to three people to watch their lessons. Please, no dogs or unattended children. Students under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian in attendance for their lesson. This stipulation may be relaxed as the student learns more skills and can safely catch, groom, and tack up. Students: Be Prepared and Bring your Barn Bag! Be prepared for an enjoyable and safe experience at All Round Equine. Be sure to bring:
• Closed toed shoes – boots are best.
• If you’re riding, make sure your boots have a good heel on them and a slick sole.
• Long cotton pants, jeans or breeches.
• If you have your own ASTM riding helmet, great! Bring it, if not, a helmet will be provided for you.
• Water, drinks, snacks. If you’re hungry or thirsty, you’re going to learn less and not have as much fun.
• Cool weather stuff like gloves and scarves and hats and the like so you’re comfortable.
• Sunscreen / bug spray
• Your signed liability release


All Round Equine Schoolhorses
All Round Equine has 3 All Stars that help our students learn to ride safely and confidently. From time to time we may have a guest schoolhorse grace our round pen, so keep on the lookout for new faces. BUCK – the Ranch Horse. Buck, (AKA Blinky, Porkchop, Shortstack and “home of the big sigh”) - Buck’s registered name is JUDGE PINE TIVIO, he is a 19-year-old silver buckskin American Quarter Horse. Buck likes neck scratches and “walkin’ fence”. He’s a big mover that reads your mind so get ready to ride with your mind. Buck is as gentle and kind as any horse can be and really connects with his students in a beautiful way. PROSPECT – Mining for gold. Prospect (AKA Prospector, Mr. Miner, Dingdong, Million Dolla’) is a 5-year-old buckskin BLM Mustang. Prospect enjoys hanging out with people and pondering the meaning of life. His best friend is Mikey (see below). Prospect is gentle and a little (ok a lot) lazy. He takes excellent care of his riders and is the ideal “first time in the saddle” horse. MIKEY – he likes it. Mikey, (AKA Michael, Michael Jackson, Jackson, The King of Pop) is a 4-year-old dark bay BLM Mustang. He likes to drink out of the garden hose and get scratched behind the ears. Mikey likes showing off his R+ skills including painting (like art!) and playing the keyboard (not kidding!). Mikey specializes in groundwork and connection, teaching his students how effective small gestures can be. Both Prospect and Mikey were gathered from the Snowstorm Mountains in Nevada by the Bureau of Land Management. They were trained by inmates at Arizona Correctional Facility in Florence, Arizona. The WHIP program is an excellent way of obtaining a gentled and saddle trained Mustang. https://www.blm.gov/programs/wild-horse-and-burro/adoption-and-sales/adoption-centers/canon-city-inmate-program
