| 'Learn Horsemanship through Understanding Behaviour' Workshop | |||||
Who should attend this workshop? |
|||||
This one day workshop is designed for horse people (ages 16+) who would like to learn more about the best practices for handling horses safely. This workshop is ideal for those new to horses including; new owners, new riders, mounted police units and first responders. |
|||||
Goal of this workshop |
|||||
To provide practical training in horse behaviour, handling and safety to young adult and adult horse caregivers (especially those new to horses). The goal is not to simply teach safety measures to participants, but to give insight into the psyche of horses – how they see and hear and why they behave a certain way. Once participants have a firm understanding of horse behaviour, teaching the safety aspect will fall into place naturally and make more sense. This teaching strategy, combined with using actual horses as part of the knowledge transfer method, will result in retention and changed behaviour. |
|||||
|
Please Note: Even people who are experienced with horses can be injured by them. When participating in activities that require close contact with horses we suggest you use great care and if you are unfamiliar with horses we recommend you work closely with someone who is an experienced and safe horse handler. |
