Reciprocal Horsemanship Series

As I continue down my path of discovery as a horse trainer and teacher, I'm finding support and consistency are key to empowering students with their horses.

In addition, if relational and emotional issues go unaddressed, the training quality is never as good as it could be. Horsemanship should be done, given, or felt equally by both sides- horse & human. Good horsemanship is reciprocal!

This "Reciprocal Horsemanship Series" was born of my desire to offer the equestrian community an avenue through which to excel with their horses by going deeper through a long-term series vs. the short one weekend style horsemanship clinic.

- Courtney Trares Owner & Head Trainer of Full Circle Farm

This small group learning series (limited to 6 participants!) will be a 6 month journey as we work together to organically build upon your connection with your horse and increase your technical skills.

Material will cover groundwork, liberty, riding and more...Perhaps we'll even work towards a group field trip together!

In addition to Courtney's mentorship, you'll also get the opportunity to work with at least 2 guest instructors. More information on Courtney's fantastic colleagues is below.

Monthly in-person clinic day at Full Circle Farm with your horse

Five virtual lessons (in-person if an FCF boarder)
Private 1-on-1 30 minute goal setting ZOOM call

Other bonus opportunities that may arise!

FCF Reciprocal Horsemanship Series Schedule

May 2024

This will be our "on-boarding" month to set you up for success in the series. We'll have a welcome meeting via ZOOM when the virtual discussion group opens, and the first educational video will be released. Additionally, you'll complete a goal setting questionnaire/skills assessment which you'll discuss with Courtney in a private 1-on-1 ZOOM call! This is a great time to ask questions and spend time preparing yourself and your horse for what is to come with Courtney's support.

The following months will include the above plus an in-person clinic day at Full Circle Farm with your horse and a monthly virtual lesson (in-person if FCF boarder). The dates for the in-person clinics are:
