Horse Care and Riding 101 - A Beginners Guide

A colorful and concise primer for those new to the horse world and reminder to those experienced of what they should not forget.  This course is ideal for everyone who are curious to see what they are signing up for with horse ownership. No prior experience is required, and you're never too old to start.

The student is introduced to what is required to take care of a horse either on one's own property or boarded somewhere else with regard to the basic things a horse needs with respect to body, mind and spirit. In the riding portion, emphasis is put on how to educate a young, ‘unbroken’ horse into one that works with the rider in ways that work for both parties. And as the education of horse and rider is a continuous process, each teaching the other, this course goes into more detail as to how to ride most effectively, enjoyably and safely.

The objective of this course is to present the basics about horse care, horsemanship, horse training and equine behavior to horse owners who are prospective, beginning and intermediate riders, as well as well experienced horse people who wish to expand their perspectives to new ways to ride and train their valued equine companions.
