First session is the meet and greet: getting the history of your horse, any issues, areas of your concern.

Sessions can be 30 mins or 60 mins.

End of session comes with notes to take home.

First time general time is longer than session time in total.

Each session varies with time depending on what Modality is being used. Please also keep in mind- modalities performed are done based on what the animal wants and will tolerate. We are a strong believer that the animal will let us know when is too much (ie we never force the animal to the “Full time” just because).
