All of our students are introduced to Natural Horsemanship here at Yellow Horse. The term “Natural Horsemanship” is a shared principle of techniques where the horseman develops a natural rapport with horses. This rapport is acquired by observing behaviors of the horse and learning to communicate with the horse. Our Natural Horsemanship Programs take a non-traditional approach to teaching all participants about horses. We believe in starting all participants in a safe, private, enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere!

Independent Riders
Our first lessons always starts with introducing new students to our horses in a natural setting. We observe horse behavior, reading horse's body language, learning how to partner with the horses, learning to approach, halter, lead and groom. Our Students learn groundwork with our horses, gaining self confidence, partnership and knowledge before they ever get on a horse's back. Once riding Yellow Horse teaches foundation riding skills. Once participants are ready to move onto learning different disciplines we are happy to recommend an instructor that can build upon the foundational skills learned at Yellow Horse.

Team Assisted/Therapeutic Riding
Therapeutic Riding provides benefits in the areas of health, education, sport, and recreation & leisure. A disability does not have to limit a person from riding horses. In fact, experiencing the motion of a horse can be very therapeutic. Because horseback riding rhythmically moves the rider’s body in a manner similar to a human gait, riders with physical disabilities often show improvement in flexibility, balance, and muscle strength. In addition, horseback riding also provides recreational opportunities for individuals with disabilities to enjoy the outdoors.
