Our horsemanship program is 16 weeks initially, with the opportunity to volunteer as an Assistant Instructor and remain a part of our organization after completion of the program. Lessons are taught by our Senior Instructor and Program Director, Barbara Rosoff, and are free so that students will not be prevented from joining our program due to financial considerations.
