Foundation Horsemanship
Great partnerships are built on a strong foundation.
Virtual Coaching
Convenient, easy and fun!
Do you live in a remote location without easy access to a natural horsemanship trainer? Do you not have a trailer at the moment, but want some help with your progress? Do you get nervous driving in winter weather, but still want to do things with your horse? Then virtual coaching may be right for you.
How it works:
​
-
Choose which tier fits you the best.
-
Pay for your tier using the payment method of your choice.
-
Upload your video to YouTube (privately).

We will call you and go over the video together.
Video tips and suggestions:
​
-
Use a tripod if you can, or stabilize video in some way.
-
Play your video back prior to uploading it to make sure you have captured what you want to show
-
Use the highest quality settings you can
-
Zoom in to show the details of your topic. The farther you are from the camera, the harder it is to see you.
-
Use adequate lighting. Dark indoor arenas can be challenging to film.
