Children 8 - 14 years can join Leslie on Wednesday, February 22, at 7:00 PM (EST) to learn more about the very special bonds that develop between children and horses, and what they need to know about them to keep one properly. In this introductory teleseminar, Leslie will share bits and pieces about her own childhood love affair with horses, and ask the children to share some of their own thoughts and feelings about horses and ponies, and their care.
Leslie provides your child with detailed answers that are age appropriate (8 - 14 years) based on decades of experience training horses, coaching children and adults along their journeys to become better riders and handlers.

Children who are over 14 years and already familiar with horses might enjoy and learn more about riding and handling horses from Leslie's 2-hour teleseminars, held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.
