In these popular workshops you will learn the function of the horses musculature system and why it is important to keep it healthy, along with some basic massage techniques to use in between visits from your therapist and what you can do in your training and husbandry to make a positive impact. 

In both the children's and adults workshop we will discuss pain, how this exhibits in a horses behaviour and look at some examples of 'Pain Face'. 

In the children's package making an enrichment puzzle for their horses, while learning the true benefits of this addition to their environments, finishes off the two hour workshop with laughs, happy children and happy horses.

The slightly longer adults version will go on to discuss appropriate exercise plans and fitness programs and learn how to condition score your horse. 

Enrichment is included where we can analyse your current facilities and find some easy and affordable additions, as well as discussing the different types of enrichment, how it should be introduced and how it could be used as a tool to help manage your horses weight. 

 

These workshops are designed to be held at your yard, with your horses, for groups from 2-6 people.  However, if you are a horse loving enthusiast who just wants to learn and spend as much time around horses as you can, please do get in touch and we can arrange a venue with some like minded people for you. 

 

Workbooks are included in both packages and children will receive a Certificate of Participation.
