Non-Dominant Horsemanship
Have you ever heard it said that the key to success with a horse is to “show ‘em who’s boss?” Have you ever wondered where that comes from? Or if it works? Well, the answer to that depends largely on what kind of boss we become.

Women's Rustic Retreat - May 8-10
The horses of my teen years are largely responsible for who I am becoming today. It’s fair to say that horses rescued me from soul crushing trauma. While I may have still lived without their grounding influence, I highly doubt I’d be growing and thriving the way I am today without them.

Liberty Clinic with Leann Manuel - June 22nd & 23rd in Oliver BC
Up to 12 participants working as a group over the full 2 days of the clinic Clinic fees: Adults $310, Youth 18 & under $260 Liberty work isn't necessary to have a great relationship with your horse, BUT... it definitely doesn't hurt! Over the years I've noticed that most of the great horsewomen and men I've admired, often practice a fair amount of groundwork with their horses - including Liberty work.
