Want to attend the Online Module One class? We teach this class in a LiveStream format.

What is required for the online class?

The Live-stream class requires students to have:

(1)  a nearby horse that is calm & patient, to practice on during class,

(2) good internet access to join our Zoom classroom for lecture & discussion, and

(3) a smart-phone for FaceTime or GoogleDuo while practicing in the barn.

 

How often are online Module One classes offered?

Classes are offered twice per year over two weekends (Fri-Sat-Sun). We maintain a waitlist for anyone interested in an online version of Module One. We maintain separate lists for those in the United States, and those in Europe (to accommodate time differences). To get on the wait list, please send us an email.

How does the format differ for the online Module One?

Class runs for 8 hours each day, with a lunch break mid-day. Start and end times are usually 9 am PST and 5 pm PST, although may be shifted slightly to accommodate students in different time zones.

Teachers lead lectures and students participate in discussion in the morning via Zoom. Written and video materials have been created by the faculty for this class. 

Hands-on horse work happens in the afternoon, using your own horse. You are responsible for finding a horse to practice on. 

During this hands-on practice time, faculty will observe and guide your skill development and bodywork practice on the horse via video conferencing (Zoom, FaceTime, GoogleDuo/GoogleMeet). Every student will receive significant one-on-one time with a faculty member each day.

Will other Module classes be offered online? 

At this time, we offer both Module One and Module 2 online. 
Module One is held in the winter (late Dec/early Jan and again in June) and Module 2 is held in July.

We require students attend at least one Module (of three) in person. This allows faculty to watch you engage in the work and provide immediate support and feedback. So much of the work is specific to each individual horse, observing you and the horse in person, helps faculty support you as you learn and practice.
