In this workshop for children we will explore how using energy in a focused way allows people to successfully accomplish tasks. The horse is especially sensitive and responsive to this. Activities like round penning, lunging, and riding will allow participants to explore how they use their energy to influence the horse.

At our warm barn in Erie, with a diverse herd of furry ponies and sleek show horses, participants will:

--Explore energy through body movement and space
--Learn specific training techniques to improve how your communicate your intention to your horse
--Experience what it feels like to use energy as a way to ask for what you want
