Horses + Humans
Horses come in many sizes, shapes and colors, along with having their own personalities! People are just as varied as are horses, with different learning styles and abilities. EquesTraining is designed to help both horse and human find their best ways to communicate successfully. Star is a PATH certified therapeutic riding instructor experienced in a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional approaches to teaching and helping students progress.
" There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man."
quote attributed to Winston Churchill
You don't have to ride to enjoy and benefit from being with horses. Just watching horses in a beautiful setting can elevate your mind and mood. Come and get acquainted on the ground, first. Find fun and relaxation with a 4-footed partner practicing "horse agility" obstacles.
Your age has no limitations for enjoying and learning with and about horses. No prior experience is necessary to begin.
