Theory Horsemanship Lesson

$55.00

Sometimes progress comes not from doing more in the saddle, but from understanding more. Theory lessons give you the “why” behind what you do, so your practice makes sense. These sessions are designed for students who want to connect dots, deepen their horsemanship knowledge, or explore topics like horse psychology, soundness, or biomechanics.

Workflow Snapshot: choose a focus, attend session (in person or virtual), engage in discussion, walk away with clear insights to apply.

Best For: Curious learners, detail-oriented students, or anyone who doesn’t have a horse available that day but still wants to grow.
