Wow, what a response I am receiving from offering horsemanship lessons! It seems a lot of you were looking for something more than just a riding lesson. Good for you!
If the riders of today want to become responsible horse owners in the future, then they need more than just a riding lesson!
I am truly enjoying working with all of you, kids and adults. It brings me joy to see the amazement on your faces when you see how we can get the pony to move with us-no halter or lead rope required.
Thank you to those who had to suffer through the mud and the muck! Now that the paddock is completed, what a difference it makes.
