Equine Foundation Training Camp at Southern 8ths Farm
During our Fundamentals week you will learn the language of horse to better open up those lines of communication while developing a relationship in order to build confidence in yourself and your horse. No matter the age or experience every horse and rider team can benefit by either getting the conversation started with your horse or moving up to a more refined/higher level of communication. Each horse and rider team will have an individualized program for the week to ensure you move further faster in your horsemanship. We understand that not everyone is in the same place on their horsemanship journey. The week-long format will allow you and your horse to develop a pattern of habits and techniques to boost your horsemanship to the next level.
Great for young horses including yearlings, two-year-olds to prepare for their riding future. Bring your riding horse along as well and learn how to pony and work off your adult horse. There will also be group activities, workshops and demos planned for the week to provide Inspiration & Education for riders and their horses. We want to show you how to have fun with your horse and make learning an adventure for you both! RV Hook-ups with water/electric, stalls and primitive camping available.
