New and Improved in the New Year!

A very Happy New Year to you and yours (horses included of course)! At the start of each new year I feel so invigorated about the horsemanship possibilities and potential that await. This year is no exception! I am excited to unveil to you a few things that I am confident will help me serve you even better on this wonderful journey of horsemanship.

 

The first is the new newsletter format. I am thrilled to have upgraded to a more modern method of communication that will allow me to better correspond with you. My hope is that it may be as pleasing for you to receive as it is for me to send!

 

The second improvement of the new year is a new semi-private instruction format. Although I have been a proponent of the benefits of group learning for some time, I was reminded of the incredible value of studying alongside other learners during my recent stint in Texas with Joe Wolter. Therefore, the MRHT teaching curriculum will be shifting predominantly to semi-private instruction. (Private instruction will remain available on a “as need be” or “specific issue” basis.) Learning alongside other students offers incredible benefits such as terrific camaraderie and support, maximized learning through exposure to other students questions and process, and increased understanding of the horse through observation of an array of horses, just to name a few. Semi-private class size will be limited allowing adequate individual attention and support, along with the many benefits of group study. I thank you in advance for your support and cooperation as we make this shift! Please see below for upcoming offerings.

 

Lastly, you will want to be sure to become a part of the MRHT Facebook and YouTube communities as these are to become the main sources of sharing photo highlights; events and happenings from around the ranch; training tips; educational videos; and other noteworthy news. 

 

I look forward to sharing a great year with you and as always, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your work with horses!

 

Sincerely,

Emily Johnson

Instructor, Clinician and Student of the Horse

There is no greater feeling than the pure joy of having your horse want to be with you, not out of obligation or restraint, but rather motivated by want and desire. In this 4 week series, you will learn how to get with the horse, so that they in turn may get with you, all without halters or leads. Playing with horses at liberty will improve your ability to read the horse, finesse your feel, timing and balance and allow you to experience a sky is the limit kind of relationship.

Have you dreamed of riding off into the sunset bareback? But fear that the reality may be that of falling off? Now you can experience the magical connection that is possible through riding bareback in a safe and supportive environment. Bareback riding is not only fun (and warm!), it also greatly benefits your strength and balance while improving your feel of the horse, allowing you to become the rider of your horse's dreams!
