Adaptive Horsemanship










What is Adaptive Horsemanship?
This is an unmounted program that teaches how to care for, communicate with and exercise the horse from the ground. This program is appropriate for those that are unable or unwilling to mount for reasons such as weight restrictions, severe fear of heights, inability to weight bear and transfer with assistance or sit without significant support.
Lesson Fees:
Private horsemanship lesson = $50
Semi-private horsemanship lesson = $40
Group of 3-4 horsemanship lesson = $35
Lesson Length:
All lessons are scheduled in a 1 hour block.
