Horsemanship is about respecting horses. It is about listening to your horse and treating them with kindness. When riding, horsemanship is using soft aids and not acting forcefully. When not riding, horsemanship is keeping horses' stalls clean, grooming them, taking care of their hooves, treating their illnesses, and keeping them comfortable. Horsemanship is about building a relationship with horses and prioritizing their health and happiness.
Horsemanship at Fox Hollow
At Fox Hollow, we expect all our riders and volunteers to practice proper horsemanship and uphold a standard of respect toward our four-legged friends. Any failure to meet this standard will not be tolerated. Stemming from our commitment to horsemanship, we prioritize the health and happiness of our horses as well as the safety of our riders and volunteers.
