H&H Trailblazers Level 2 is a 10-month horsemanship and riding program for kids who already have the basics and are ready for the next step. This class advances their confidence, timing, communication, leadership, and riding skills in a supportive, patient, and empowering environment. H&H Trailblazers Level 2 is designed specifically for young riders who have already built a strong foundation in safety, leadership, and basic horsemanship.

These students know how to halter, lead, tie, and confidently walk their horse—and are ready to continue growing at the trot and beyond.

Trailblazers is where kids deepen their understanding, refine their skills, and begin stepping into true partnership with their horse.

What H&H Trailblazers Will Learn

• Tools to build on the foundation they already have
