Program
Setting Goals That Achieve Your Equestrian Desires
Too often we set ourselves arbitrary equestrian goals or no goals at all or our goals are driven by what the other equestrians around us want. Mary Terp will facilitate a workshop in which you will dive deep into your own experiences and desires to understand what you really want out of your life with horses. You’ll articulate those equestrian ambitions and SMART goals to achieve them.
