"When you read, you forget... when you see, you know... when you do, you understand."

RS Sport Horse is dedicated to providing quality education and training for the Sport Horse industry.  This program is very versatile and can be adapted to many unique situations and interests.

How this education program can help you

The success of your personal equine education or your equine business can depend upon the availability of a solid and well planned training and education program.  Such a program should include training in Equine Anatomy,  Nutrition,  Hippology,  First Aid,  Proper Grooming,  Stable management,  Proper   physical  conditioning  of  the  horse,  and other  practices that are vital to you and your horse.

What R S Sport Horse provides

R S Sport Horse offers a complete and comprehensive equine  education.

The program provides a solid course of learning in the foundation skills that affect the equestrian and horse.  This training is available to individuals or groups, thru lessons, clinics, seminars, or private  consultation.  The training program is designed for success, with the aid of specific goals and progress measurement.

An individual or group can opt to train in one specific discipline or customize a program that best suits their needs.  Progress can be monitored through awards given  to  participants  that  successfully complete a  subject or related subjects  (*);  this is an option and not mandatory.  This education will allow the  participant  to  get  more out of  their  riding instruction as it will give them goals and a structure to follow. 

How it works

Instruction sessions are set up with a format that will cover a specific topic.  The session information is supported by the required text books.  Each participant in a session is given a worksheet to follow along with the presentation of the topic.  This worksheet outlines key points that are presented in the session.  All topics are presented in a practical, hands-on manner.  This allows the participant to do and understand the techniques and build skills.  Skill and a system that will produce consistent results are the desired outcome of each session.  Participating members of the education program will receive a card that will list the goals of the session.  The member will be evaluated on their performance of each goal.  The member will receive a certificate of achievement after having been evaluated 8 times per each goal.  A badge will be given to a member who acquires the necessary certificates that relate to that badge.  The badge represents the individual's mastery of the basic principles of a particular discipline, i.e., dressage, hippology, endurance riding, stable management, horse ownership, groom, stadium jumping, jump course designer, or eventing.  

The member can concentrate on acquiring the medal portions of the education program once they have achieved badge status.  These areas become more specialized for the member or can all be participated in for a well rounded background.

"I highly recommend that every rider take the R S Sport Horse Education Program.  There is so much to learn, and this course presents the information in a well planned manner. I found that listening to Ron talk about his experiences, and participating in the hands-on sessions very valuable.  The program goes far beyond the typical horse care courses, and I felt much better educated in how to care for and condition my horse.  And...it was fun!"  ~  C. Divoky, Brownsville, Vt.

"I love my horse and want to take the best care of him. When I enrolled in the R S Sport Horse Program, I never dreamed how much I had to learn.  I thought I knew how to groom - until the grooming class, where I learned the correct way, and my horse said 'thank you'.  I find that I am much less exhausted before riding and have more time to ride.  Whether the class was on hoof care, proper tack care, the importance of aerobic and cardiac conditioning of your horse, nutrition and more, Ron shared his knowledge, and my horse and I both benefited." ~ N. Fourtzialis, Haverhill, MA.
