Whether you are conquering a fear, have a child that you want to show horses to, or just want to be around them yourself, this is perfect for you! These sessions are targeted towards exposure- whether that be looking at them from a distance or petting them up close. Each session is tailored to the needs of the client and what they are comfortable with. These sessions do not involve riding, but can involve anything on the ground including, but not limited to- grooming, learning different kinds of equipment, learning ground drills, etc.
Price: $30 (An additional 30 minutes can be added for an additional $15)
"If a person can learn to care for an animal, their life will be so much more rich and open. There is something about the quiet accountability they hold us to that fortifies our sense of responsibility and duty. You can't get that anywhere else."
- Erika Fenny, 1974
When Eva first started taking lessons with us, she was intimidated by the horse's size and her lack of familiarity. Instead of pushing her to ride, we faced her fears in a different way- by walking the horse and letting them eat grass so she could get used to being around them. Now, she can't wait for her next lesson and has a thirst for knowledge that was fostered at her own pace.
