When you see horses standing in a pasture or running across a field, does your heart beat a little faster? Do you long to touch them and understand them? Whether you have grown up with horses or admired them from afar, this course will help you understand them and become a part of their world.
Learning to Communicate with Horses is a non-riding horse class for adults 50 and over who have always wanted to be able to approach these magnificent creatures without fear and be accepted by them. This class will teach you the proper way to interact with a horse. You will be rewarded with a silky muzzle, a warm breath, and a deep feeling of serenity as you join with the spirit of a horse.
You will learn how these graceful animals communicate with each other and with us, how to bond with them through activities, and how they can help us heal from loss and trauma.
At the end of the workshop, you will have gained the confidence and knowledge that will allow you to understand and enjoy the special relationship between a person and a horse. The next step is our Silver Saddles class, which will help you to see the world from a totally different perspective, from the back of a horse.
Classes are held at the STARS Riding Center just 1 1⁄2 miles north of Mike’s Saloon on Hamilton Boulevard. Please dress comfortably (close-toed shoes please) in layers. Light refreshments and beverages will be provided.
Participants must be able to stand and walk on uneven surfaces.
