THE PRESENCE OF HORSES

Learn basic horse body language, herd communication and equine social cues in a self paced, safe scenario, where you’ll come away with more self awareness and knowledge of your own energy than you could’ve ever imagined! You’ll also learn basic safety and handling lessons, anatomy, horsemanship, barn management, and grooming.
​
Class will be held Tuesdays 10-1130, Wednesdays 4-5:30, and Thursdays 2-330
​
Full course and all materials
$249, sibling discount available
​
Session size is limited to 6, be sure to sign up early!
​
Because we value YOUR safety, we’re not going to pressure you or those you love into doing something faster than they’re comfortable with and will always keep everyone’s best interest at heart.
​
We’re not going to make you buy special clothes, dress a certain way or force you to do things before you’re ready- We aim to make this course affordable, inclusive, and understanding of everyone’s individual needs… horses included!
Message, call, or email us for questions or to sign up! We can’t wait to hear from you!

OFF THE HORSE COURSE
Our Online Instructor Course
I understand how hard it is when our herd becomes old, injured or burned out. I've designed this course to guide other instructors to build a quality, personalized, accessible and herd friendly equine experience for your clients. Your first zoom meeting is FREE! I want you to see the value of working together.
I offer my online course on a sliding scale, (from $249 to $999), feel free to choose a fee in the range you’re comfortable with.
I do this to offer my services to clients in every income bracket without diminishing the value of the course. Currently, I DO have limited lower scale spots available! When they are closed, I will put you on a waitlist and let you know when one opens up.
OTHC will give you the confidence to start producing quality, personalized, progressive, unmounted experiences for your students, so regardless of the weather (or herd soundness) you keep your barn on budget.
​
During our 4 zoom meetings we deep dive into your business, brainstorm and find different techniques to grow it. I LOVE thinking outside the box, and can’t wait to help you build your own unique program truly highlighting your own personality. All of our materials are designed to be edited to YOUR herd and can be duplicated for use by your students.
