GREENHORN TRAINING CLASS GREENHORN TRAINING CLASS The best way to learn how horses are trained is to help train a horse. Learn how to better understand the training process for green horses and expanding knowledge on horsemanship skills. Students can sign up for individual classes or for the entire monthly package.Greenhorn Classes: $55Lessons will always consist of two segments: 1) Horse of the Month Trajectory At least one segment each class will be hands on experiences with one or multiple horses. This year we are incredibly focused on the concept of Trajectory Training. Instead of each class being focused on one specific skill for students to learn, we are going to focus more on how a horse progresses through skillsets. Learning skill by skill, while helpful for our greenhorn trainers, is unfortunately not as helpful for the green horses who need to get their bearings by working on a progression through a course of foundational development. As a result we will be focusing on one horse each month who will participate for half of the class with the trainer that they are working with while the second half of class brings in other horses and trainers to keep developing the skills of our greenhorn trainers. In Group Classes our horses will be used to demonstrate a variety of concepts. Demonstrations will be at all phases of training but will relate back to the foundational work.

| GROUP CLASSES | The monthly club includes group classes each week for a month. Classes will be focused on demonstrations of skills that are foundational to horses' learning. This would be a hands on time for instructors to demonstrate as well as provide group hands on learning. Note: Classes do not roll over from month to month and must be used the month of the membership. We are trying to encourage people to get involved on a regular basis. ˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜ |

| PRIVATE CLASSES | The monthly club includes one private session. Private sessions are focused on individual goals and weaknesses. Whether it is a particular horse that a student struggles with or a skill they are struggling with (either that they want to work on or an instructor notices needs work). Note: Classes do not roll over from month to month and must be used the month of the membership. We are trying to encourage people to get involved on a regular basis. |
| GROUP PRACTICE SESSIONS |
The all access pass also includes 2 group practice sessions for you to come and hone your skills in the company of others. These practice sessions are a great way to try more challenging skills while being monitored by our staff and with the help and support of other greenhorn members in a fun social atmosphere. ˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜ |
| TRAINING LABS | Training Labs are for CLUB MEMBERS ONLY and can not be purchased individually. Training labs are the unlimited, unsupervised practice sessions that greenhorns have to work with designated and assigned horses for groundwork and basic training skills. These are opportunities to review skills and develop the repetition needed for horses and humans to learn these foundational skills. No skill is too small to repeat and perfect! Training labs can be booked online through the FrontDesk and a staff member will assign your horse and training task. Please book these sessions at the end of your weekly class so that we can easily assign horses and tasks. Every training lab must be recorded in the schooling database in order to track horse and member progress to be discussed at meetings. We strongly encourage videotaping your session using our iPad stand or chest mount straps for instructional review.

Requirements for Club Membership:
Requirements to be able to join the club and be able to do unsupervised work with horses you need to have the following understanding:
All members must have basic knowledge of groundwork skills: haltering, leading, picking up feet,
All members must obey maximum skills level limits. Not every club member will be allowed to ride or do groundwork at the same skill level.

The goal is to work together as a club to make these newer and younger horses into finished products for the entire community
Members that intend to do any mounted work must be capable of posting trot and posess soft hands and understanding of leg cues. This must be evaluated beforehand in a lesson setting. Members that intend to ride must update their riding weight on FrontDesk regularly in order to be appropriately mounted.
