Fresh Start III: Pathways to Progress
Join us for the third and final part of our Fresh Start Series, focusing on helping riders to develop and implement a plan to continue their growth in themselves and their relationship with their horse.
This is a rare opportunity to participate in a small group with the full attention of Justin Haefner, and Dr. Paul Haefner focused on integrating a knowledge of fear and anxiety and the strategies for overcoming them, with a powerful, effective plan for progressing forward! The combination of our knowledge and experience with humans and horses will give you exactly what you need to move forward, sustain your growth, and build on progress you’ve already made.
You will learn about the essential keys to making good decisions about your riding and making plans that are both achievable and sustainable. We will be focusing on teaching you how to apply these strategies with your horse to address your unique challenges.
September 12 @ 8:00 am - September 14 @ 3:00 pm
Sycamore Seed Farm 303 Willingham Rd, Charles Town, West Virginia
