EQUINE LEARNING
Make life with your horse or donkey even easier and more fulfilling. Use natural horsemanship to resolve problem behaviors, defuse fears, improve existing skills, and teach new skills. Available both on the farm and on the road. Your horse or donkey can board and train with us on the farm where we train each client horse or donkey 5-6 days per week. You can trailer in for regular, prescheduled lessons. (All horses and donkeys must have proof of annual vaccinations and a current negative Coggins test to enter our farm.) Or we can come to you for those regular, prescheduled lessons.
Taking the Fright out of the Scary.
What frightens your horse or donkey? Getting on a trailer? Riding in that moving box? Being treated by the veterinarian? Seeing bicycles or little red wagons? Meeting up with the farrier? Getting saddled? Being bathed? You tell us! We tailor each session to help your horse or donkey conquer whatever those fears are.
