Weekend Apprenticeship Programs

 David’s Weekend Apprenticeship Programs are designed to accommodate
 individuals who have the desire to enhance their horse training skills, but because
 of job obligations do not have the opportunity to attend typical 2-3 week apprentice-
 ship programs common in the horse industry.

 Apprenticeship Program format includes individualized instruction, group activities,
 class exercises and demonstrations.  At the completion of each session students
 are provided with a  series of homework exercises to be completed before returning
 the following month.  A specific coursework progression is designed into the sessions
 to provide students with a complete set of knowledge and skills by the end of the
 course.

 David’s philosophy is to teach people to Train With Purpose.  Students are taught to: 

            ·         Apply cues to control individual parts of the horse
            ·         Understand why the cue is given
            ·         Know what the expected response should be
            ·         What to do if the correct response is not given from the horse

 David offers two Weekend Apprenticeship Program Formats:

               BASIC APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM

               "MINI" APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM
