Horse Psychology and Natural Horsemanship Major (ages 13 thru adult)
Natural Horsemanship teaches that horses can be partners in the beautiful journey of Horsemanship. Pat Parelli says it best: Horse*Man*Ship; Horse and man together on a ship taking a journey.
We don't believe in "training" horses, we believe in equipping the student with the proper "language" to communicate with their horse.
Students join the Flying G Staff as we embark on this wonderful journey together. We are all at different levels and progress at different rates but are there to encourage each other as we learn to become more "horse savvy"
Requirements: Students must be a Savvy Club member or have purchased Pat Parelli's courses. Other clinicians considered on an individual basis.
Students MUST have their own horse and equipment.
