GroundworkHorsemanship sessions include developing progressive understanding of and safety around horses & interpreting horse behavior; effective horse handling, leading & in-hand grazing; horse grooming & care.
There is a specific task & goal oriented progression to the sessions, building on the foundation of safety & understanding of the equines, advancing in groundwork such as natural horsemanship techniques, lungeing & round penning. Learning new skills, working together and partnering with these majestic animals have incredibly positive effects on all participants and volunteers and this is what our programs are all about. |
