1:00pm-3:00pm - "Horse Time" this is time to spend with your horse and develop a new level of communication. You can spend it alone or with a group.   You can ride your horse or play on the ground. Hit the trail or stay close to camp.  Try something new for a change.  This will be your opportunity to test your skills learned in your morning sessions.  Make it fun & discover the possibilities.

3:00-4:00 pm - "Discovery & Question Session"  This is where you start thinking horse. Now that you have put your skills to practice it is time to fill in the holes that may have showed up.  Everyone will come back together with their horse for this wrap up session. This is designed to get those new questions (from the day) answered and any tips/techniques to take you a step further in your horsemanship.  We hope to encourage you to begin to find your own answers and learn to understand the questions asked by your horse.
