Intro to Horsemanship Basics – 4-Week Series

Have you ever wondered what it really means to have a horse?

Our Intro to Horsemanship Basics series is designed for young adults and adults who are curious about horses, considering horse ownership, or interested in learning what it takes to care for horses at home.

This hands-on introductory series combines practical experience with classroom learning. Participants will explore the foundations of responsible horse care and ownership, gaining a better understanding of what goes into keeping horses healthy, safe, and well cared for.

Throughout the four weeks, participants will have opportunities to work alongside our horses, ask questions, and explore topics including:

• Understanding horse communication and behavior

• Basic horse health, common illnesses, and veterinary care

• Feeding, nutrition, and daily care

• Fencing, shelter, and safe living environments

• The responsibilities and considerations of horse ownership

• And much more!

Each participant will receive a personal workbook and journal to record notes, questions, and important information throughout the series. This resource is theirs to take home and reference as they continue learning.

Whether you're interested in homesteading, keeping horses on your own property, or simply expanding your knowledge, this series is a great place to start!
