Your teacher
Think of our horses as a different kind of instructor. They will pay close attention to your body language, energy and even your heartbeat. With each interaction, they will give unbiased feedback about how they experience you. This feedback can provide valuable and introspective information into yourself, what you value, and how you interact with the world around you. You'll learn how to work together with your special teacher as you participate in obstacle challenges and conversations focusing on specific skills in each course. The horse won't tell you all the answers. Instead, they encourage you to discover them for yourself.
