1-Week Lessons

Who is this for? 

This program is for up to two adults who would like to learn how to work with horses in beautiful mid-eastern South Dakota. You may bring your horse or if you do not have your own to bring, no problem! A horse will be provided for you to work with during the week. Be sure to bring your saddle whether you bring your horse or not.

​

What should I expect?

From groundwork to trail riding, you will be observing various training methods as well as gaining hands-on experience in applying what you learn to your own horse. You will work with Enck’s Training in training horses for about 8 hours per day. You will get to enjoy the beauty of South Dakota from the back of a horse through trail rides at various locations, with a few “extra” horse-related activities. It will be a full, fun week of horses. Bring a friend and enjoy the experiences together.

 

Are food and lodging provided?

A 2-bedroom apartment will be provided in town, a 7-minute drive west from the Enck’s Training facility. Basic food and vouchers for restaurants in town will also be provided for each day. The apartment will be available after 3 p.m. the day before your lesson starts.

 

If bringing your own horse, feed and board will be provided by Enck’s Training.
