This is a class for those who are thinking about purchasing their first horse or who would like to
learn everything about horses. This class is formatted for young adults and adults offering
everything from the basics of what a horse needs to survive to the more complicated medical
care. The class includes a hand book and work sheets. Long pants, boots with a heel and
helmets are required while working with the horses. We do have helmets to loan out and even
some boots. Even though we only ride during one class session we will be working with the
horses during every session and boots are still recommended.

weather. If one of the six Saturdays is scheduled to be a nice warm day
we may ride that day instead. Most of the class sessions will be held in
our heated class room, but we will venture out to work with the horses in
the barn, round pen, cross tie area, and arena. Please call if you have
any questions about this class.
