Deer Run Stable teaches the natural horsemanship way. The children will learn how to be safe around horses and how to get a horse to respect them and their space. Children will learn to become natural with horses through communication, knowledge, and psychology, rather than force, fear, or intimidation. “Horses don’t care how much you know - until they know how much you care." WHAT A GREAT SUMMER!!!
