The horsemanship program at High Horse explores the possibilities of partnerships between horses and humans
Whether you have never rode a horse, or have years of riding lessons under your belt, our program gives you the tools, knowledge and abilities to be a confident, capable horse person and rider.
High Horse Malibu's approach
It is often said of horsemanship, you’re not working on your horse, you’re working on yourself. Horsemanship is the art of mastering our own movements, thoughts, emotions and behaviour. Through mastering our own behaviours, horses respond with respect and cooperation. This is where the true art of horsemanship begins.
