Our attraction to the horse is often based upon a romantic image of a noble horse, and us working in seamless partnership.\u00a0 That may be where the dream starts, but there are practicalities of working with horses.\u00a0 These animals speak a different language than we do.\u00a0 We need to understand their language as we develop a safe partnership.<\/h5>\n

Introductory Program<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/h1>

[vc_column_text el_class=”fs18 mw80″]<\/p>\n
This 4 week introductory progressive program starts you on your quest to learn about relationships with horses and safe horsemanship. At your own pace you learn horse handling and brushing skills. Or maybe spending more time with the sheep, goats or pigs is more your style.\u00a0 The introductory program can be used with any of my animals!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the end of the 4 week program you will be able to safely and comfortably handle a trained horse, including basic brushing and messaging of the horse. You would also be comfortable handling any of my other animals! Have you ever gone for a walk with sheep or goats?!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the end of the 4 week program, sign up to be a friend, enthusiast or partner with the Quest Farm animals you know.\u00a0 Have fun, find your zen moments and relax without the cost and commitment of owning!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Friend- Visit weekly on your schedule, during the week days, weekends or evenings.\u00a0 It’s your time to connect and enjoy!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Enthusiast-Visit up to three times per week; week days, weekends or evenings.\u00a0 This time investment is perfect for you if you want to develop and work on new skills.\u00a0 Additional training, such as riding lessons, liberty lessons, or driving lessons are additional investments.\u00a0 For example, you want to be an enthusiast and ride.\u00a0 You will need to take riding lessons to ensure you are safe while riding unsupervised.\u00a0 Perhaps you will have one riding lesson per week and two visits.\u00a0 Or maybe one liberty lesson and two practices. The combinations will be what makes the time with your animal friends special to you.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Partner-This is for the person who knows that time with the animals is their ultimate self care. Visit up to 5 times per week.\u00a0 Safely interact with the horses or animals, enjoying your journey into (maybe) riding, liberty, etc.<\/div>\n

At the end of the 4 week program, maybe you see yourself interested in continuing to be involved with horses.\u00a0 Could be as a rider, could be driving, could be liberty, could be clicker training. Did you know that clicker training works on other animals?<\/p>\n
