We are excited to offer our Horsemanship program to the Grossmont Adult School. We offer a well-rounded program to create a truly informed equestrian experience. Riders will learn "Basic Seat" which is the foundation for good equitation in all disciplines. Our goal is to create safe, well balanced riders with a strong seat. We employ "Secure Seat" riding techniques for this purpose. We offer on the ground training with the horse along with class room education.
Designed with fun and safety in mind. Students will learn:
-Basic anatomy
-How to recognize and prevent common lameness and illness.
-Safely handle horses on the ground.
-Comprehensive "Tacking up" procedure.
-Bathe, clip and grooming techniques.
Class size is limited to ensure safety and that each rider receives individual attention and has a positive , safe and exciting experience!
