Description: Learn how to become comfortable around horses and ponies. This confidence building day is about learning how to be in be control of horses and ponies - whether they are loose, whether we are interacting with them in small/enclosed spaces, or if we are leading them.
We always tailor the course towards the individual needs of participants, and the particular issues they would like to address.
We teach participants how to understand horse body language and behaviour; and by combining this knowledge with safe, practical techniques and lots of hands-on interaction, we find that people grow in confidence very quickly. Everyone has the opportunity to put their skills into practice by observing and interacting with our herd of ponies. This course is perfect for nervous riders and anyone who feels in need of a confidence boost.
