Unmounted Sessions with Alternative Horsemanship
What: An opportunity to include equine enthusiasts who have been limited to auditing, the waitlist, or are unable to bring their horse as a participant. I will be offering unmounted group sessions in the upcoming March and April clinics for hands-on (but horseless) learning.

But "trainers" often look for physical responses to specific tasks and have a pre-set "step 1, 2, 3" agenda with many pre-designed programs.
