Horsemanship School | Northwoods Animal Learning Center

	The Right Foundation Provides Endless Possibilities One-Of-A-Kind Horsemanship Programs- Increase you knowledge in the barn and in the saddle! Our courses are designed to provide an affordable and well rounded foundation in horsemanship and a working knowledge in equine care and managment topics. The classroom curriculum was developed to offer practical knowledge valuable to all horse owners/riders, those considering the purchase of a horse, horse lovers, or those interested in a career in the horse industry. The hands-on portion of our courses are not technique based, but rather designed to encourage each participant to approach each horse differently and in a manner that fosters a life long process of learning; one that we think is critical to becoming a better horseman. Horsemanship Program Offerings –We offer seminars and workshops, evening and weekend classroom courses, and two & five day riding courses that offer quality time in the saddle in addition to a classroom curriculum. Apprenticeship Opportunities- NEW this year. A great opportunity to experience hands-on horsemanship. Please contact us for more information.
