Heart & Hooves Horsemanship Advanced Classes
Advanced Horsemanship Classes
The advanced classes are 10-month courses offered to a limited number of participants. Students meet once a month January through October for a 1 1/2 -hour class. Classes during the winter months consist of classroom instruction only. We will be offering the classroom instruction on-line! Beginning in April, you will bring a horse. The primary focus, of the advanced classes, is helping to develop a solid relationship between horse and rider. As you progress, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of natural horsemanship and develop a true connection to your horse under saddle. The program will work with you and your horse to get that solid
equine partnership everybody dreams of!
All classes are limited to 15 participants.
