Join 36-year horsemanship expert and founder of Hanaeleh, Elizabeth Zarkos, Ph.D. for a three-week intensive academy that helps people of all levels improve their ability to connect with horses.

Learn the various training techniques that Elizabeth uses in training and rehabilitating those horses who have been deemed “untrainable” by other professional trainers.

advanced-horse-academy-2021-2Work side-by-side with Elizabeth as she breaks down how she creates the individualized training regimen for each of the horses who come to Hanaeleh.

Each course will be tailored to each individual’s skill level. The program will give students the knowledge to work with horses safely and confidently about the following topics:

  • Grooming
  • Clipping
  • Nutrition
  • Longeing
  • Medical Care
  • Sensory Training
  • Fitting bits, bridles and saddles
  • Understanding conformation
  • Horse and human communication

During this three-week academy, individuals will be working with horses on the ground. Individuals from various levels are encouraged to apply; the experience will be tailored to each individual in order to ensure that everyone is safe and is continuing to learn.

Requirements:

1. Participants must be calm around the horses, able to take direction, have a good sense of humor, and have a willingness and desire to learn about horses and horse care. People enrolled in the clinic should genuinely enjoy working around horses.

2. Participants will not ride the horses, but they will be responsible for all care of horses on the ground. For that reason, all people enrolled must wear appropriate clothing, including: jeans, breeches or other long pants, boots and gloves. Shirts should fit well without being too tight or too loose. A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are recommended.

3. Participants will be required to provide proof of Covid-19 vaccination.
