Who is this for? 

This program is for up to two adults who want to learn how to work with horses in beautiful mid-eastern South Dakota. You may bring your horse or leave at home and use ours! You will use ours and yours while you are here. Be sure to bring your saddle whether you bring your horse or not.

​

What should I expect?

From groundwork to trail riding, you will be observing various training methods as well as gain hands-on experience in applying what you learn to your own horse. You will work with Enck’s Training in training horses for about 7 hours per day. You will get to enjoy the beauty of South Dakota from the back of a horse through trail rides at various locations, with a few “extra” horse-related activities. It will be a full, fun week of horses. Bring a friend and enjoy the experiences together.
