Greg Eliel – Horsemanship, Leadership,& Life! What’s not to love about Greg!! We are so lucky to be able to host such a wonderful horseman at our farm!! 🙂
Whether you are an experienced equestrian looking to bring your horse to a more advanced level, or less experienced and looking to feel more confident with your horse day-to-day! Greg’s tailored approach and master communication skills will help you work through challenges to reach those goals.
AM Class 9:00am – Noon
Horsemanship 1
Excellent for someone new to working with Greg, young horses, or green horses.
Immersion and Refinement Classes will give you and your horse the opportunity to learn together with Greg. You’ll be working toward developing an understanding of how your horse learns, as well as acquiring the tools to build a solid foundation from feel. This is the beginning of a new relationship together.
Phase One: In Immersion the foundation in groundwork will help to build a secure, confident, relaxed, and supple horse. Followed by applying the groundwork to the saddle, the rider will now begin to reap the benefits from the new foundation, helping the horse to move away from the slightest amount of feel. You will learn how to meet the horse’s needs and to speak to the horses in their language, the horse and rider have a much greater potential of reaching goals for any discipline in harmony.
Phase Two: The refinement phase we will start to focus more on the individual discipline and goals of each horse and rider combination
PM Class 1:30pm-4:30pm
H1/H2 –
*Host will determine best class for each participant.
Private 1 hr lessons available: $150 per hour.
Friday-Saturday-Sunday – Monday @ 5:00pm
