🌿 About the Sessions
Horsemanship is more than riding it's about understanding. Participants learn to read horse behaviour, communicate calmly and confidently, and develop essential groundwork skills that foster mutual respect between horse and human. Whether the goal is therapeutic development, confidence building, skill acquisition, or simply connecting with animals, our sessions are designed to meet individual needs and goals.
