You'll have your own horse for the daily lessons, which include basic steering, horse arena etiquette, spacing, trotting small circles and going over log obstacles, sitting and rising trot. The goal is to feel confident with proper posture, cueing, turning, stopping and trotting. At the end of the week, you'll perform a pattern that combines walking, trotting, stopping and turning.
