Private Lessons
Get the one on one attention that will accelerate your progress! Private lessons are a great way to get your specific questions answered and walk away with a wealth of new skills to improve on. They can be focused around any one Savvy at a time and within the time frame of 1-2 hours.
Semi Private Lessons
This is great for husbands and wives, friends or play groups that want to take the journey together! Walk away with a deeper level of understanding where you are and where you want to go! Learn from each other, have time to process information and formulate questions, observe other Horsenalities™ and leadership strategies. Semi Private Lessons can be focused around one or two Savvys at a time and within the time frame of 2-3 hours. Minimum 2 students, maximum 4.
Workshops
Workshops are subject or Savvy specific and are perfect for the student who can’t quite commit to a full 2-day clinic. They could be with a horse or without. Class sizes are still small enough to get lots of one-on-one help and will give you the freedom to experiment on your own a little. Workshops are half-day, 3 hour sessions with a minimum of 4 and maximum of 6 students at a time. Workshops can be combined for a full day of instruction as well.
Just a couple examples of what a Workshop could be focused on:
- Beginning Level 1 and Seven Games
- Level 1/2 On Line Patterns and Assertiveness
- Level 3 On Line Patterns and Refinement
- Level 2/3 FreeStyle Patterns and Fluidity
- Saddle Fit and Shimming
- Trailer Loading
- Horse Husbandry: Clipping and Hoof Care Preparations
- Rope Handling Savvy (horseless)
- What Knot to Know (horseless)
- Personality/Horsenality™ Awareness (horseless)
Clinics
Fully immerse yourself for 1-4 days in a row. A time and financial commitment that pays dividends. The option of more time allows us the opportunity to go deeper into our topics, with more information given. Level taught can be from Level 1- Level 4 depending on the clinic topic.
