Our horsemanship curriculum covers every facet of horse care. Beginners start with the basics of animal care, learning how to groom, feed, and maintain the overall health of a horse.
As you progress, we delve into more complex topics such as equine anatomy, the importance of the right tack (including bits and bridles), and hoof care. Our goal is for you to not only ride with confidence but also to have the knowledge and skills to care for these magnificent creatures comprehensively. A great pre-requisite to our lesson programs for beginners!
