This foundation invariably leads to improvement in all future disciplines and riding activities. The intensives are designed for the serious minded who sincerely want to vastly improve their communication skills with horses. Professionals as well as pleasure riders benefit greatly from this week of study and fun as each day builds on the previous. Mornings begin with a lecture and demonstration of the newly introduced material, followed by student participation. Lunch is followed by exercises designed to improve timing and understanding.
Videos are available in the cool of the rec.
Siestas are not discouraged in the heat of the day. Later afternoon rides into the wilds are available. As the week progresses each session takes on it s own personality as side trips riding into the mountains, volley ball, swimming, and adult camaraderie develop. Camp fires, guitar music, story telling, and dancing are options available to all. Homework topics are assigned to several groups and thoroughly discussed.
