Starting March 13th, 3-4:30pm, we are glad to have local equine professional Lauren Sands-Vaughn join us at the ranch to kick off her very own Equine Good Citizens Certification Program. This will be followed by a five week riding course in Western Dressage Fundamentals. Lauren Sands Vaughn has experience in a wide variety of disciplines and styles of training, including all around western, western dressage, classical dressage, Doma Vaquera, equine psychology, liberty work, trail riding and trick training. She participated in the first Western Dressage Association of America Train the Trainers event, Extreme Mustang Makeover, and was 2014 CAWDA Top 5 in the open division.
Participants will learn to establish a strong foundation with their horse. Then, participants will have the opportunity to transfer these skills into the saddle in the Western Dressage Fundamentals Course, which will be offered later this spring. Participants will also have open-arena practice time and continued weekly-mentorship with Lauren via DaysAtDunrovin. Both programs end on a day of testing and awards to celebrate the horses’ achievements and the leadership skills of the handler.
