SUMMARY:Monty Roberts Introductory Course of Horsemanship, Flag is Up Farms, Solvang, CA
LOCATION:Flag Is Up Farms
DESCRIPTION:The Monty Roberts Introductory Course of Horsemanship is the first step to 
 gaining an in-depth understanding of Monty Roberts’ concepts. The course is
  suitable for students of any age (16+), and all levels of equine experienc
 e (your instructor will pair you with horses and tasks suited to your abili
 ties). However, as it is a 2-week, intensive course, for those with little 
 or no horse knowledge, we recommend prior participation in a Horsemanship 1
 01 Clinic (or taking the course modular format).<br /><br />Through demonst
 rations, practical sessions, and classroom discussions you will be provided
  with a well-rounded knowledge in the basics of horse care, performance, br
 eeding, feeding and nutrition, with a strong emphasis on horse psychology. 
 As the foundation of Monty Roberts’ work and a prerequisite for the Advance
 d Course, you will learn the method of Join-Up® as it relates to various en
 vironments. You will have the opportunity to build your skills in Dually® h
 alter work, long-lining, herding exercises, horse desensitization and trail
 er loading.<br /><br />This course can be taken as a stand-alone tool to im
 prove your communication and relationship with your horse, or as a step tow
 ards becoming a Monty Roberts Certified Instructor.<br /><br />Topics inclu
 de:<br /><br />How the Dually® Halter can be used to improve the relationsh
