Natural horsemanship

Do you know what “natural horsemanship” is? We already do…

Teenagers from Filipovtzi visited “Seven hills ranch” in Plovdiv and had one unforgettable day of outdoor activities in the nature. Thanks to Drago, the owner of the ranch, our teenagers learned about the specifics of the western horseback riding, lassoing, non-abusive methods for training horses.

All the participants admired the skills demonstrated by the animals and the approach of the instructor, based on the Natural horsemanship principles. Drago is using a variety of horse training techniques based on methods said to be derived from observation of the natural behavior of free-roaming horses and rejecting abusive training methods.

Practical riding activities provoked exceptionally strong emotions – fear and how to overcome it, satisfaction from the success, proud… the young adventurers came back from this excursion full with impressions and a lot of smiles.
