deepen their equine knowledge, understanding and skills.

Basic Under Saddle Training
All aspects
of a horse's basic "under saddle" education.
This includes
what to do on your "first rides", getting the horse
comfortable with a rider, introduction to trails and trail
obstacles.
You will
learn Bob's "Partnership Training" system of gaining
control of the horse's individual body parts.
Suzanne
Sheppard, Bob's partner, who is also a Centered Riding®
instructor and a graduate of Bob's first Horsemanship Education
Courses, will introduce several points of equitation and Centered
Riding® instruction which improve your balance, quality
of communication, control and safety.
