TRAINING AT OUR SACRED HOME-RANCH IN LONGMONT, COLORADO
Local Horse Owners, Start Here!
So you understand that, as a caring horse-owner, there is no way around it: you will become your horse's main trainer. Sidekick. Caregiver.
BUT you need guidance to get there.
Especially with this horse that you love so much, though who seems:
always off, maybe unsound?
mostly unhappy
aggressive
ready for collaborative colt-starting
bored
absolutely uninterested in you
Well, we got your back!
Here are the Longmont-based programs through which your horse and you can learn to become the best versions of yourselves...together!
HATHA EQUUS PLAYGROUNDS
Your weekly support. These 90mins, theme-specific classes are meant to support your and your horse's co-creational growth alongside a small group of horse-human pairs who are just as committed to mutual empowerment!
The themes are: consensual riding, natural dressage, movement expansion, consensual husbandry, problem solving, trailer loading, liberty and trick training.
TRAINING TRACK
Five lucky horses have an opportunity to live on a paddock paradise track, directly in the heart of Wildsong Ranch, and engage in full training with the Hatha Equus Team!
ONE ON ONE SUPPORT
Maybe you need hands-on support to gentle your wild mustang, or to teach your horse to load on the trailer so that you can come to our weekly classes. Or anything else that you don't feel possible in a group setting, yet.
We do occasionally offer 1:1 support at Wildsong Ranch, online, or even at your location.

IN OUR STUDENT MAGDALENE'S WORDS...
Consensual riding is so much fun! MY HORSE has so much fun that I can hardly believe it!
He now collects (proudly), engages in shoulder-in and pirouettes without me asking!
I quickly learned what "being present" means. Also, I started to feel so much more in my seat! And so much quicker!

Frequently asked questions
WHO IS YOUR HOME-PROGRAMMING FOR?
We welcome experienced equestrians and complete beginners, horse owners or humans who haven’t yet found their forever horse, from children (starting age 9) to adults in their golden years.
DO YOU HAVE BOARDING OPTIONS?
We do! We run a program called "Training Track": we welcome horses and their humans for a minimum of 3 months to a paddock paradise track we manage, adjacent to Wildsong Ranch, and they get to train with us intensively and be part of our community until they're ready to spread their wings!
I AM TERRIFIED YOU ARE GOING TO TEACH MY HORSE HOW TO REAR
We promise, pinky swear and vow to only teach your horse how to rear if you actively request it and sign it on paper. Some folks think that rearing is an awesome trick, and since it's great for most horses' body, we will gladly facilitate it. But it's not NECESSARY, and we go with your definition of safety and happiness with your horse, when training them!
I AM A HORSE OWNER BUT CANNOT HAUL MY HORSE IN
Talk to us, send us an email, come to a Sneak Peek and let us know what you need. If there are skills we think you can learn at Wildsong Ranch with one of our horses, we will pair you up with them and you can take what you learned back to your horse. You can also tell us why you need us to come help at your ranch instead, and we promise we will listen and consider! Also, before any of this, please make sure the owners and trainers in residence at your ranch are fine with other trainers coming over!
If you want Riding Lessons, Start Here!
For adults, teens and children (age 9 and up) who dream of a movie-like, mutually empowering relationship with horses, whatever their starting point, this is the place for you to start and grow!
We will gladly guide you from wherever you are into being the most safe, trustworthy, clear and fun sidekick to any future horse.
We DO have a confession to make already, though...ours are NOT RIDING LESSONS, really. We love to ride and we can't wait for our horses to offer that opportunity to you, BUT...
...we won't settle for anything less than CONSENSUAL riding. Ideally, Co-Creational riding.
Riding is a very intimate activity for horses. It won't be a pleasant experience to them unless we have learned how to honor them at every step of the way, already.
That takes some knowledge, skills and relationship building with horses...and that takes time and commitment.
So, you'll likely not be riding for a while within our program, BUT...when you do...you AND your horse are going to feel on top of the world...TOGETHER. It's the best feeling in the world, and if that's the feeling you're looking for...well...welcome home 🤗
