Remote Horse Coach FAQs
Distance and Virtual Horse Learning
Initially, I was unsure about how much I could learn without you teaching me in person. But I have to say, I realized by creating videos of myself, and then reviewing them with your teaching insight, I was able to absorb so much more because we could stop to pause and discuss topics in-depth. By breaking down things I was missing or not understanding I learned so much! I'm really glad I tried something I never imagined would be so crucial in my learning and has completely changed the relationship I have with my horses.
