Amazing Family Activity

A class where your family learns how to connect and communicate with horses, understand their behavior, and navigate them through a series of obstacle courses.

Experiential in nature, the focus is on appreciating the complex communication and social hierarchy of horses and paralleling that experience to the outside world; enhancing life skills, family relationships, and increasing personal wellbeing.

Each class has a minimum of three and a maximum of six participants.

This class is a standalone session but it is also the introduction session to the “Family Herd Series”, a progressive and comprehensive program designed to benefit the family. Proceeding to the Family Herd Series is an option after completion of the single class workshop.

No Experience Necessary

Families journey together with their horse through a series of non-mounted exercises. There is no riding and no prior horse experience is necessary. We start from the beginning.

The horses are the teachers, but certified facilitators gently guide the process.

The class begins with a 20-minute briefing to learn the secrets of horse communication and prepare for the arena time. This is followed by a 10-minute Whoa and Safety demo and then 40-minutes of family exercises with the horse. The class concludes with a 15-minute debriefing to discuss the experience and parallel your observations to the outside world.

COVID-19 Policy

Held in a 40,000 s.f. wide-open indoor facility with no closed-in areas, this facility is ideal for air dispersion. All participants and employees complete a daily health assessment at entry, and wear masks while inside the facility.

Three individuals per horse with lots of open space. Briefing and de-briefing time is private to the family group with a dedicated facilitator, while the arena may be shared with more than one group. Sanitizer dispensers are installed at key points throughout the facility.
