People 18-21 who would like to attend our school, it is recommended to visit with parents or guardians to help them make their future plans. A two-week course is a good introduction course to begin with.
Trim classes or part time attendance:
Ages under 18. If a parent is willing to attend as an observer and they both lodge off the property, we certainly would consider their attendance for a trim class and possibly a 2-week course. Reason being is this type of work is very strenuous, could be hazardous if the person is not currently strong in their upper body, arms, hands, legs and back. We take safety for students and horses very seriously and refuse to put anyone at risk.
