Join us for a lesson on how to connect with one of our horses. It's not a riding lesson; it's something more magical. You get to groom the horse, bond with the beauty and guide them around an obstacle course. You learn how to communicate with the horse in a way few people understand. And it's all fun! We will give you time to get comfortable around these majestic creatures. This non-riding experience is suitable for any age and ability. Children will need an adult present to participate. There is a cost for this activity.
This unique experience is based on a philosophy of being with the horse that respects their natural behaviour and seeks to partner with them through a series of non riding activities.

"I bought my first two horses when I was forty-six. I had little experience with horses. I have had Sue Solf come work with both horses as well as myself.
I have been impressed with her relationship based horsemanship. She understands both the horse and the rider. I have had difficulty with both horses because of my inexperience. Sue has helped me to understand each horse as they are very different in nature. My riding has improved. My relationship with each horse is so much better thanks to her unique approach. I would strongly recommend Sue to anyone who needed help in having a better relationship and understanding of their horse.
Sue is very patient and an excellent instructor. She is positive in her approach. I appreciate that I can ask her questions on anything I am not quite understanding at any time and receive the right help for what I need.
When I first went to Sue I was ready to sell my horse. Now, I have a wonderful relationship with him. I was afraid of my other horse. Now I also have a great
relationship with him. I enjoy going to see and ride both my horses. I would not be where I am without her knowledge and help. I feel she is a fantastic trainer and instructor.
Thank you, Sue!
Donna Savage"
