SHADOW RIDGE

EQUESTRIAN CENTER

Workshops take place on a Saturday morning from 9:30 am - 11:00 am, in a cozy country kitchen atmosphere with hands-on demonstrations taking place in the barn.

Each session is specific to one of the ribbon achievement levels in our program and must be taken in order to receive the ribbon.

Sign up for the workshop you need, and if you are not sure which level you are at, please ask your instructor.

As the workshops are only offered from November until April, you may register for one or two levels ahead.

Workshops will include some practical participation and theory.
Students will receive a workbook with notes for each session attended.
Videos, slides and guest speakers may be used for the workshops.

Low cost of $30 per session (Includes HST)
