State of the Art Education
The Pony Pros are redefining what it means to be involved in horses by providing students with a foundation in horse psychology and communication that will enable them to excel in any equestrian discipline. Pony Pros is not a "riding lesson" program. We empower you by coaching you in horse psychology and communication so that you need fewer traditional lessons. Our program is great for people who keep their horses at home or are just getting involved in horses. Learning about horse behavior can help you pick the right trainer, filter your current trainer's advice, help you find reason in the criticism you received at a clinic, or help you be a self-directed learner. Understanding horse behavior gives you a better chance of being successful at home, at shows, and on the trail. We also give you the skills you need to pick a great horse if you're buying or leasing, or to be safer handling your lesson pony. We make learning how to do anything with a horse easier, faster, and more fun.
Why the Emphasis on Horse Communication and Psychology?
It's about fun and safety. The vast majority of horseback riding trainers neglect to teach students about horse psychology and communication. This makes lessons frustrating because students don't know why they're doing what they're doing, or why the horse is responding the way he is. Students who don't know how to read a horse's feedback are in danger of frightening or angering their horse.
Trainers often mistakenly presume that people coming for riding lessons naturally understand horse communication and psychology as the trainer does. They forget that students cannot immediately identify and respond appropriately to changes in their horse's behavior. Worse yet, many trainers in competitive programs deliberately misinform students about the horse's emotions. They don't want the student to become afraid, because the horse is afraid, and stop taking lessons or going to shows.
It's never too late to learn! If you're confused by what your horse is trying to tell you, or want to learn about horse behavior before starting riding lessons, join us!
