About Course

This is your starting point on a lifelong journey of being a Professional Horseplayer!

In this course, you will learn all about horseplay, including teaching your horse to hug, the smile, the look away, the laydown, standing quietly, and all about food pushiness and moving off of pressure.  This course is offered in three parts that will continue to build on each other.  Parts one and two are pre-requisites for all of our more advanced courses.
