This is the first of two leading-specific training opportunities for Equest Volunteers who have completed the initial Volunteer Training.
Blue Star Leader Training introduces you to the skills needed to lead our horses successfully in lessons. The initial training is approximately 2 hours and follow up sessions are approximately 1 hour each to allow you to practice on the variety of equine personalities in our herd. Blue Star leading skills include leading the horse at the walk and trot, standing square, leading through the mounting block, emergency situations, etc.
Prerequisite: Complete the initial volunteer training
Requirements: Attend the introductory meeting which is the first date on the schedule. Then attend 3 to 4 of the scheduled follow up trainings to practice and confirm your skills. Follow up trainings are offered on Tuesdays (4pm to 5pm) and Saturdays (3pm to 4pm).
