the Apprenticeship program. The primary difference from the Apprentice Program
is the long term commitment required by the Apprentice. Participants interact in
a one-on-one basis with the instructor and the horses with the same focus on the
physical and psychological aspects of horsemanship. The schedule is the same as
described above in the Apprentice Program
