Courses
- Introduction To Horse Psychology
- Introduction to Horse Psychology is an intensive, two-day (16-hour) course that offers concepts
and tools to help people achieve success with their horses. Whether your horse is a world-class
competitor or a companion that lives in the field behind your house, this course will teach you
how horses understand the world and how we can learn to communicate effectively in “horse
terms”. The course is limited to six riders. Auditors are welcome. Next offered: A shortened
version of this course will be presented to the Old Persons Riding Club on June 19 and 20.

- Additional Instruction
- Many people have already encountered concepts presented in the Introduction to Horse
Psychology course, but clients quickly learn that the course material and experience examine
these concepts at an essentially more fundamental level. Although it is expected that most
people cannot absorb these ideas in an hour or two, many of them can be understood by the
end of the two-day course. Introduction to Horse Psychology builds a foundation of
understanding that enables clients to approach their horses with an added perspective, which
can make a profound difference not only in their riding, but also in their groundwork. Through
discussion and demonstrations, this course enables clients to “see” what the concepts mean to
a horse. Clients also have the opportunity to begin putting the concepts into action with their
horses brought for the weekend.
