Two strasser hoofcare seminars took place on the farm in August of 2004 and June of 2005. They were well attended and very informative. Instructor Todd Merrell spent 5 days on the farm for each seminar. Not only did he cover natural horse care and hoof care, but also bodywork techniques and Biomeridian stress assessment. Students came from all over the country to attend.
Summer Day Camp for young girls ages 10-14 are offered in July. Activities include riding and caring for the horse and swimming and relaxing by the lake. Both trail riding, arena schooling and mock showing activities are scheduled. School horses are available for the sessions. Attendance is very limited to ensure personal attention
Contact us if you are interested in scheduling a personal hoofcare, schooling, or training apprenticeship. Many times there are young horses available on the farm to start, and of course school horses to use to develop riding skills.
Gemstone cutting apprenticeships are available with Brant.
