Horsemanship and education play an essential role in horseback riding at any level. Understanding the responsibility and care horses require, teaches children accountability and compassion. Whether an experienced rider or a complete novice, it’s never too soon or too late to learn the fundamentals of horse and stable maintenance.
Horsemanship nights combine education, games and hands-on horsey time to learn everything from colour, markings and breeds to first aid and bandaging. No horse or riding experience is required, just a love for horses!
