How did you hear about United Mustangs of America?

What made you reach out now?I miss horses and want to come back My child keeps asking, and I want something real for them I want to learn how to actually handle and understand horses I want to become capable enough to own a horse somedayI already have horses and know there is more to learn I want more confidence around horsesI am not sure yet. Horses just keep calling.

What is your horse background?Brand new, no real experience yetA few lessons or trail ridesI rode or owned horses before and want to returnI have some experience, but feel like something is missingI currently ride or own horsesOther

Most programs teach riding. UMA teaches Horse Handling Science, also called World Horsemanship. This means students learn how horses think and respond, how to communicate with them on the ground and in the saddle, and how to become a capable horseman, not just a rider. Equipment may be English or Western depending on the horse and the work. Does this sound like what you are looking for?

When you picture yourself or your child with horses, what matters most? 

Which direction feels most interesting right now?

UMA students do more than ride. They groom, lead, tack, do groundwork, observe, care for horses, and complete learning material between sessions. Riding is part of the program, not the whole program. Does this sound like the kind of learning you want?

Are you open to beginning with a Start Here Session? *The first step is a Start Here Session. That session gives us time to meet, work around the horses, go over safety and handling, and see what next step makes sense.Yes, that sounds like the right first step Maybe, I would like more information No, I am only looking for drop-in lessons No, I am only comparing prices right now

What days and times are generally available for you? 0 / 150

What would make this feel successful for you or your child? 0 / 150

Is there anything I should know before I respond?0 / 300
