Confidence Building for Women

Our goal with this seminar is to build your self-confidence when interacting with horses.  Our approach to this is to offer hands on, common sense solutions to basic everyday issues that seem to plague women in general when it comes to horses.   Through the combined experience of our team we can offer a variety of methods and practical knowledge that span many disciplines and professions.  Our seminar team consists of women who are breeders, trainers, farriers, riding instructors and teachers and horse owners.

The structure of this seminar is designed to be very informal and tailored specifically to the needs of each group.  There will be plenty of opportunity for coaching and one on one time with each person as needed.  Students will have the option of doing as much or as little as they choose.  You will have the opportunity to put your new knowledge to the test with a variety of horses in a safe setting.  This helps students to realize immediate results with their horsemanship and skills.

The focus of this seminar will be trail riding.  Arena work will allow you to practice before applying your new skills on the trails.  Instructors will be available for discussion groups in the evenings.Seminar is limited to 12 participants and held primarily outdoors.  Participants are housed in well appointed cabins featuring a hot tub on the porch for relaxing after a day’s riding.  The wooded setting of the cabins is a short drive from the riding ring and trails where the seminar will be held.  All meals are provided.  Some days will have saddlebag lunches on the trail.
