EQUIDAE ~Equine Help At Home~
Training
Each horse is unique, so the training program should be too. The first step is finding out everything we can about the horse's past, current environment, and the owner's goals.
Equidae is dedicated to creating a training program that suits your horse and the goals you have set.
We categorize each group of sessions into flexable training levels. We work with you to decide what level is am appropriate goal for your horse and work step by step to achieve it.
Equidae encourage the owner to participate every step of the way, building a relationship along with new skills.
Steady improvement and a strong bond between horse and rider is our focus.
