Intro to Groundwork
Some people say that any problem you experience with your horse, on the ground or under saddle, can be addressed with groundwork. The skills we learn on the ground make us better riders and horsemen, and can teach us so much about horses, the way they think, and ou relationship to them. In this workshop we will practice critical groundwork basics, including lateral movements, lunging, and more.

Parents and Partners of Horse People
We’ll cover everything you need to know to be safe, successful, and supportive at the barn as a non-horse person supporting your child or partner through their horse obsession. We’ll cover basic horse safety, important terminology, and horse handling, as well as give you tips about how to be helpful and how to connect with someone who only wants to talk about horses.

Foundations
Mouthiness, fidgeting, cinchiness, difficulty loading, gate and buddy sourness…I could go on and on. All of these are habits that are too often overlooked or written off as “just quirks.” Unfortunately, these habits can make our horses less enjoyable to be around, and make it harder to sell or rehome them in the future.
In this 12 week remote course, I’ll help you work through some of these habits, making your horse more enjoyable to be around by filling any gaps in their training foundations.
