Cowboy Training in New Zealand: Programme

Aside from your introduction to Natural Horsemanship, you will also receive instruction in hoof care, will feed the horses and other animals on the farm, and will help to build or repair fences or water pumps during your cowboy training in New Zealand. Experience life on a New Zealand farm for 5 or 12 days – accommodation and meals included. 

Your hosts keep the farm running and offer their hoof care course and Natural Horsemanship course to the local population as well as to TravelWorkers. Both of them studied Natural Horsemanship in Great Britain and have a degree in Hoof Orthopaedics (ESHOP), making them the first qualified hoof-care specialists in all of New Zealand.
