Core Foundational Horsemanship Program

 In partnership with Covered Call Farm, LLC in Lee, N.H, we have launched a non-riding-focused horsemanship foundational training and educational program. The program offers a unique and enriching experience for adults and children at least 10 years of age who are interested in beginning or renewing their horsemanship journey.

The program is ideally suited for individuals with little to no prior horsemanship experience or those seeking an alternative to past horsemanship experience. They have a desire to learn about equine/human non-verbal communication and natural horsemanship philosophy and training, and want to develop broad knowledge of everything that goes into caring for, being with and learning about horses. 

The foundational horsemanship program, which consists of six, weekly 90-minute classes, incorporates the following core educational areas:

• Understanding the Horse and Herd Behavior: What They Think, Feel, Do and Why

• The Language of Equus: How Horses and Humans Read and Respond to Energy and Body Language

• Horse Handling and Grooming

• Biomechanics of Horse and Rider: How Horses Move and How We Move With Them

• Horse and Rider Fitness

• Groundwork With Intention: Dispelling the Myth of Mindless Circles

• Fashion and Accessories for Horses and Humans: Blankets, Tack, Wraps, Bits - What do you really need and for what purpose? 

• Basic Horse Care: Feed, supplements and other nutritional requirements; general horse health and vital signs; hoof health: barefoot vs. shoes; basic first aid

• Preparing for Horse Ownership: Are You Ready?
