How to Catch a Horse is a program specifically focused on teaching the basics of safely handling and managing horses. There is so much more to horses than riding, but most lesson programs do not offer essential training for how to work with these animals on the ground. This 6-week course sets a strong foundation of equine care and includes everything from haltering & leading to communication, anatomy, vital signs, nutrition, and general care practices. The core principles of this program are based on compassionate care and teach practices that center around acknowledging autonomy and partnership rather than a more traditional dominance theory approach. Participants will learn to consider how our  interactions are perceived and interpreted through the eyes of a horse, while also being mindful of how our own energy influences the world around around us.
