HORSEMANSHIP FIRST

"RIDE FIRST - SHOOT SECOND!"

You'll hear those words repeated often in class.

We expect you to become more than a rider, we expect you to become a horseman or horsewoman.

We don't care how well you ride, but you must be in control of your horse at all times.

We don't care how well you shoot.

We care about the mental and physical wellbeing of your horses.

Shut down horse that "does what he's told?" Nope. Anxious horse that "needs to be desensitized?" Nope. 

We expect you to work on advancing your knowledge of horses and to learn from them.

We expect you to put their needs first and demonstrate that in class and competitions.

We do not allow our members to use harsh bits or saddles that don't fit properly.

If you hit your horse, you're out. If your horse is uncontrollable, you'll be asked to leave the class.

We expect you to show up on time and develop your skills in a safe and controlled manner. 

We expect you to learn from other teachers and constantly study the art of horsemanship.

No, we do not do children's parties! 

We expect you to be kind to, and tolerant with others in your class, and have as much fun as you can!

Training sessions start on time. Please arrive early to prepare yourself and your horse.
