No experience is required and none is assumed. Sessions are designed from the ground up for people who have never worked with horses. Every session begins with a full introduction to horse behaviour and safety - you will never be asked to do anything without proper guidance first.

No. All work is done from the ground. There is no riding, no saddles, and no equipment beyond a lead rope for certain activities. The entire session happens at ground level, which is where the most honest interaction between horse and human takes place.

The half-day group session accommodates 2 to 4 participants. The private experience is designed for 1 participant. For larger teams, enquire about our custom program options.
