Our adult students each chose an obstacle and then got to work with each of four different horses at that obstacle. The goal? Figure out how to adjust based on that horse’s personality, foundation, confidence, and curiosity.

Here’s 47 seconds of uncut, uncensored video from a recent lesson with Erin. (There was nothing to cut or censor, is why. Even though the lesson included two-point position. 😃)

The Opposite of Social Distancing

Rocky and Cooper demonstrate the opposite of social distancing. (It’s okay for them as they live together.)

Cooper is happy that social distancing does not apply between horses and their humans.

Fergus is for sale! This gentle giant is a great confidence-builder and wonderful on the trail. More info including a video on our website https://equinepartners.wordpress.com/2019/06/29/for-sale-fergus-gentle-giant-trail-buddy/

This is nine-year-old Jasper riding Cooper. But don't worry, adults! The bareback posting trot, sitting trot, canter transition is not a mandatory part of our program for grown-ups. 😉 It is an option though, when you are ready! Gift certificates available in any amount; minimum age is 5. Contact us at [email protected] or 530-559-1602 to purchase.

Star helps his student practice balance and centering as he changes gaits and directions. "Horses are going to do things. They're alive. Keep moving with the horse." Not a bad metaphor for finding balance in life too!

Youth students learning trail skills around the ranch! (We do this for adults too, with our horses or yours. Call 530-559-1602 to schedule your session.)

Shortcuts

A comprehensive program for horse lovers

To me, natural horsemanship means a focus on relationship, communication, feel, and fairness. It means you develop a relationship with the horse. You open up to two-way communication, and you’re always learning how to be as much like a horse as possible. When you have that feel, that fairness, that balance, it’s simply beautiful. It’s a lifestyle, not a series of techniques or tricks. Basically, it’s good horsemanship, whether you call it natural or something else. ~ Erin Murphy, owner, Equine Partners, Inc.
