      <image:title>Sessions and Workshops at Applewood Equine Assisted Learning - I Want a Pony and Getting to Know Horses</image:title>
      <image:caption>Is your son or daughter mad about ponies but you have no idea where to start? Or did you have a horse when you were young and are missing that connection? Maybe you are thinking you would like to have a horse again one day. Perhaps you had a bad experience with a horse but still love them and would like to reconnect. Or are you an adult that doesn’t know much about horses but would love to know more about these beautiful, and at times very mystical animals. There’s loads of reasons why we all would like to get the opportunity to hang out with horses and learn to be with them and care for them. Pony rides, riding lessons and trail rides are great but don’t always fulfil the desire to learn about horses, understand their ways and create the bonds that you can forge through groundwork. These individualised sessions are tailored to what you would like to learn and take away, they are carried out on the ground so no riding experience necessary. $110 for 1 hour groundwork and caring. $240 for 1.5 hour mounted therapeutic experience. $700 for an 7 session package unmounted (upfront payment). $840 for an 7 session package. including 1 hr mounted session (upfront payment).
