Our 'FRESH START' Program  '--is the beginning'

Our original and intense approach to what we believe everyone should learn before riding any horse, especially if planning to make horses and riding a part of your life.  An intriguing psychological conditioning occurs with an unsuspected self-study.  This is the basis for safety, survival, communication. coordination, confidence and control.  Your study be awakened to many unsafe behaviors of those who ride.  This is an excellent preparation for a lifetime of safe, enjoyable riding, through learning more than common Horse Sense.  You will be gifted with higher communication skills through understanding the instincts, impulses, actions and reactions of both horse and human.  You will know that you know how to do what is needed, and what to expect when riding alone or in groups.  You will choose your riding partners more carefully, and would prefer to ride with someone that has taken our Fresh Start Program, to avoid accident or injury.  A life changing program --as we have been told.

This program was referred to --as a 'College Level Program in Communication' --by a Psychologist in 1985.     

  (Original Program 1982)
