Fresh Start II: Foundations of Confidence and Connection
This is a rare opportunity to participate in a small group with the full attention of Justin Haefner, and Dr. Paul Haefner focused entirely on tackling fear and anxiety in you and your horse! The powerful combination of our knowledge and experience with humans and horses will give you exactly what you need to move forward in tackling your anxieties and fears.
You will learn about the underlying nature of fear and anxiety as well as practical strategies for managing these strong emotions in you and your horse. We will be focusing on teaching you how to apply these strategies with your horse to address your unique challenges.
