Quick-Release Knots, Tapping, and Trail Adventures | Beyond the Saddle Week 2

Wednesday of Week 2 in our Beyond the Saddle: Holistic Clicker Training Program was filled with hands-on learning and joyful movement.

We began the morning with gentle movement in the yurt, then students learned to tie a quick-release knot—even turning it into a friendly contest.

The day continued with hoof picking, balance-mat exercises with their horse partners, and a trail walk through our obstacle course, where wise Legend showed off his effortless log-jumping skills.

Students also explored tapping, a soothing body-work modality for horses, and practiced trailer loading with patience and positive reinforcement.

This session highlights how practical skills, mindful movement, and playful partnership come together to build trust between horses and humans.

✨ Our next program is scheduled for October 17th through October 20th, 2025. You can reserve your spot and purchase your ticket here: https://www.starrhorseretreats.com/horse-healing-retreats
