DPTC EVENT
Semi Feral Foal Handling Workshop
An exciting new opportunity to learn how to handle Dartmoor ponies will be available next year and people are being asked to book early.
The Dartmoor Pony Training Centre (DPTC) in conjunction with Sarah Weston of Intelligent Horsemanship is pleased to announce a five-day Wild Pony Training Workshop.
The workshop will be using feral Dartmoor Hill Ponies, though each method learned can be applied to all equines, and will be held in Widecombe, Devon. It will run for five days from the 25th to 29th October 2010.
The workshop costs £250 for the full 5 days, a limited number of spectators are welcome at £20 a day.
Taking on an unhandled pony can prove very rewarding, but it can also be a terrific challenge, especially if you buy one straight from the moors at the sales. This special workshop is dedicated to helping you learn how to handle feral ponies and will give you the experience and confidence you need to make a new partnership immensely rewarding and satisfying both for you and your pony.
Sarah Weston of Intelligent Horsemanship is renowned for her work with unhandled feral ponies including New Forests, Exmoors and Dartmoors. She will be the lead trainer at the course and will bring with her other experienced trainers in the field. The work with these ponies will involve one on-one sessions with these trainers and so therefore places on the course are limited.
