Paloosa Special |
| The Paloosa people had a special way of communicating with their beautiful horses. Follow in their footsteps and learn to talk to your horse and understand his answers. A lot of this is done on the ground and will give you a wonderful opportunity to get really comfortable with your horse. You will be delighted at what you can achieve and the bond you forge with your horse. With bareback riding at the core, we will enjoy games and crafts inspired by the people who brought us our beautiful appaloosa horses. Saddles available upon request! |
