Holistic Horsemanship
Holistic Horsemanship lessons offer a well rounded approach to many aspects of horsemanship including safety, body language and communication, leading, grooming, basic care, tacking up, and riding.
​
We tailor our programs to meet each students needs and goals, allowing for a number of available options including working with horses on the ground, focusing on specific riding activities, and/or incorporating wellness practices such as core strengthening, energy medicine, stretching, breath work, progressive muscle relaxation, and meditation.
​
Working with horses is fantastic for all aspects of our beings - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. These lessons allow participants to the time and space to to focus on skill development and personal growth. Students of all levels experience an increase in clarity, communication skills, coordination, and balance while connecting with horses in the great outdoors, whether it be in an enclosed arena space, or on tranquil trail rides through the beautiful countryside.

Holistic Horsemanship Workshops
​
Women, couples, families, and other groups create lasting memories, strengthen bonds, and learn about how our own energies relate to our interactions with horses.

Throughout the sessions we work on activities to improve internal balance, enhance grounding, as well as improve our horsemanship both on the ground and while riding. Participants generally leave feeling lighter, more connected, and in tune with the other participants, both human and equine.
