Natural Horsemanship (Optional. No riding involved)
Mandi Claxton trains with the Texan-based Bruce Logan Foundation station. Mandi will work with you and 'Lollipop' - a 11.2hh Welsh Mountain pony to explore the concept of horsemanship upon the Foundation process. This blends psychology with in-hand (no riding) techniques to help the pony stay soft, light and supple, while allowing her to figure out the correct way to efficiently and calmly utilize her mind, body and feet. It is a two way communication where the pony stays mentally engaged and is allowed to get smarter; just like any of us do when we are allowed to figure things out or think for ourselves!
