Traditional Horsemanship

Traditional horsemanship refers to the age-old methods of training and working with horses that emphasize respect, trust, and communication between horse and handler. It involves understanding the horse's natural behaviors and using gentle, consistent cues to guide them. Techniques often include groundwork, leading, and riding skills that foster a harmonious partnership. The focus is on developing a confident, willing animal through patience and observation, rather than force. This approach values the horse’s well-being and promotes cooperation, making it effective for both daily handling and riding.
