Our Lesson Program:
Our lesson programs offer a different approach to horsemanship. I like to focus on creating curious students.
Often as adults, we have many skills and routines around horses, but our understanding of the “why” can vary from person to person. At PATH Institute, we will teach you the science behind all training methods and why they work the way they do. We offer hands-on instruction on Positive Reinforcement (R+) training, liberty training, equine husbandry, equine enrichment, equine body language, equine welfare and behavioural modification.
All experience levels and backgrounds are welcome!
Private 1-one-1 curriculum-based lessons
In-person lessons have a waitlist. Please reach out if you are interested!
Our Lesson Horses: ASHER
Asher is our DHH x Canadian lesson horse who has been with us from the beginning of PATH Equestrian.
Asher came originally as a horse that I intended to retrain and resell after gentling him and helping him get over his reactivity and fear of humans. He quickly became a barn favourite and is now the “favourite” lesson horse. Asher is safe, quiet and is an expert in teaching students Positive Reinforcement Foundations. He is a perfect horse to start Positive Reinforcement Training with and is a joy to work with.
Asher has been handled since day one with Positive Reinforcement methods and has been started under saddle, and is an exceptional mover.
Asher is also available for part board for students who are looking to practice their skills outside of lessons
Our Lesson Horses: PALE
The Pale Yeti is our beautiful (usually feral-looking) gypsy vanner gelding.
When it comes to Positive Reinforcement Training, Pale does it all and more. He is a very intelligent horse who is quick to learn and eager to train. He is the horse that you could take for hours and hours of trail rides and adventures, and would still want to continue to train.
The flip side, he is an incredibly smart horse that is very picky about who he is willing to work with. If he likes you, he will give you the world. He has done it ALL: obstacles, solo trail ride, group trail rides, liberty work and tackless and bridless riding (on trails and in the arena).
Pale is also available for part board for students who are looking to practice their skills outside of lessons
Our Lesson Horses:
PEEK-A-BOO
Peekaboo is our one-of-a-kind young Welsh pony. He is a miracle pony who survived a horrific accident with a 5% survival rate and made a full recovery.
Peekaboo is my only horse that has been trained with a combination of Positive Reinforcement and Negative Reinforcement, as I was training him for another home.
Peekaboo has a ton of riding training and has been exposed to many obstacles and whatever nonsense I can throw at him: jumping sprinkler, cantering through a splash pad, “scary obstacles”, he is a fearless and confident pony.
Peekaboo is often used in our behaviour modification lessons, teaching things like syringe training, needle training, hoof care, etc. He is used for groundwork handling skills and is very rarely used in ridden lessons, as he is 13.1hh.
