Ocean View Stables' Student Assistant Program: A Comprehensive Way to Learn Equine Management

Ocean View Stables is a premier horse-riding facility that offers a wide range of programs for new and experienced riders alike. At the core of our philosophy is natural horsemanship, a holistic approach to training and caring for horses that emphasizes the horse-human bond and mutual respect between horse and rider.

Our Student Assistant program is one of our most popular offerings, allowing riders to immerse themselves in the world of equine management and care. Through this program, our students learn about the day-to-day processes of taking care of horses, including horse diets, grooming, identifying health conditions, and dealing with shoeing and hoof support. By getting up close and personal with our horses, students develop a deep understanding of equine behavior and psychology, and gain the skills and knowledge needed to be successful horse owners, trainers, and caretakers.

At Ocean View Stables, natural horsemanship is the foundation of everything we do. We believe that horses are intelligent, sensitive animals that deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. Our trainers and staff work closely with our horses, using a range of natural horsemanship techniques to build trust, respect, and communication between horse and rider. Through positive reinforcement, patience, and consistency, our riders are able to forge strong bonds with our horses and become confident, competent riders.

Natural horsemanship is based on a deep understanding of horse behavior and psychology. Rather than relying on force or punishment, natural horsemanship emphasizes the use of clear communication and positive reinforcement to achieve desired behaviors. By understanding the natural instincts and behaviors of horses, riders are able to develop a deeper connection with their animals, and create a partnership based on trust and mutual respect.

At Ocean View Stables, we believe that natural horsemanship is the key to building strong, lifelong relationships between horse and rider. Whether you're a beginner rider just starting out or an experienced equestrian looking to refine your skills, our natural horsemanship approach will help you become the best rider you can be. So if you're looking for a unique, enriching horse-riding experience, come join us at Ocean View Stables and discover the joys of natural horsemanship.
