FABULOUS ATHLETIC BRA I have tried many bras over the years. While riding my straps always fell down, or I had to keep pulling the back down, plus I still felt too much movement. It wasn't until I wore the Fabulous Athletic Bra that I forgot I was even wearing one. Barbara is very knowledgable and patient in being sure you get the right size. The fit is FABULOUS, I feel like throwing out all my other bras. Thanks a million Barbara for providing us with such a quality product that is not only comfortable but WORKS!

STUDY GROUPS FORMING Many of Sherry's dedicated students have formed study groups to keep them motivated and accountable to continue the journey towards excellence in horsemanship. There are groups now meeting regularly in the Lincoln, Omaha, and in central NE area (Broken Bow, Burwell, Ord and Grand Island). We do have access to indoor arenas to ride in, however, sometimes when the weather is bad we will meet at homes to watch shared DVD's to continue our learning.
If you are interested go to the newsletter page for study group guidelines and dates. Join our free yahoo chat group or newsletter list and you will recieve notices about upcoming dates.
If you want to start a group in your area call Sherry.
You may come the first time as a spectator if you are not a regular student of Sherry's. These groups are designed to inspire, motivate, and encourage one another. Plus we want to introduce newcomers to the benefits of natural horsemanship principles and get them excited about learning as we are. These study groups are NOT FREE PRIVATE LESSONS or a place to bring a problem horse for other people to fix. Sherry can help you with your problem horse through instruction either in priavte lesson, camps or clinics. Back to The Latest News Quick Links

Average Cost of Instruction For exact prices go to Cost Page or call Sherry
We understand private lessons are sometimes desired, so we do offer them to dedicated students willing to take them on a regular basis.
However,I recommend a clinic or camp over the lessons at least once a year, because a 2 hour private lesson will go by so quickly.
There is no way you will get the solid foundation from one private lesson which you will get at a clinic or camp. I prefer to give private lessons after someone has already attended a couple of clinics. The value you get for your money with a clinic or camp is much greater than a 2 hour private lesson, unless you will commit to them on a regular basis.
You will also learn from the other people at a clinic or camp which is invaluable. We will have a chance to cover so much more about principles and natural horsemanship philosophy. etc. etc. etc. There is no way I can cover all of this in a 2 hour lesson.
Cost Comparison for those on a budget. 2 hour lesson $80-$100 ($40-$50/hour) Above is estimate when I have to travel and pay arena fees; cost is much less if you come to Burwell or Calamus Outfitters Ranch 1 day clinic $150 for 8 hours ($18/hour) 2 day clinic $250 an even better deal ($15/hour)
The best deal are our camps. 4 days (at least 35 hours of instruction) for $350 (only $10/hour) plus the cost of the lodging, meals, horse pens and classroom materials is around $350.
Early Bird Discounts save you even more. The above cost comparison are estimates, prices change according to our travel expenses, arena fees, and number of participants. (Lease horses extra)

How you will benefit from studying with us
Dear Horse Lovers,
Our aim is to help both the horse and rider to become even more successful by presenting a balanced foundation from which you can build a confident, trusting, respectful relationship, without sacrificing the spirit of either the horse or the human.
We did not invent any of the building blocks of the foundation which we teach, but have learned it from dedicated study with mentors, both horse & human, from books, tapes, careful observations and experience.
A strong foundation based upon focus of the mind, emotions, and the body is the key to success with horses. The reason most of us have issues and problems in our relationship and performance is we have either left out, or skipped some of the foundation based on the mind & emotion. In our enthusiasm to perform we went straight to the physical.
Remember foundation work is not only for young horses or beginning riders. Many horses and riders who experience difficulties, soundness issues, mediocre performance or fear issues will benefit by going back to the basics. It will expand existing knowledge, reconstruct existing holes, restore broken relationship and add a new perspective.
Using natural horsemanship foundation through feel we strive for a horse that is safe, dependable, flexible, supple, and mentally emotionally & physically agile. Preparation using a proper mental emotional & physical foundation will develop confidence in both the horse and handler, which allows them to become trustworthy partners.
Simply by methodically and consistently improving the basics your “skills & talents” will be accentuated and developed to their fullest potential. With repetition and creativity the basic “skills & talents” will become instinctive, leading to a beautiful harmony that becomes an art form.
Our goal is to help those who think they lack “skills & talent” or those who strive to reach their “skill & talent” potential by guiding them through various tasks and exercises which build mental focus, emotional control, physical relaxation, dramatic expression, physical strength, coordination, stamina, flexibility, balance, feel, rhythm, timing, quick reflexes, and problem solving strategies.
We hope you will give us the privilege of sharing the adventure of your horsemanship journey. Remember we will all experience tremendous highs on this journey, as well as valleys that seem to go on forever. We want to support and encourage you through the valleys, and celebrate the highs with you.
The destination doesn’t seem near as important as the journey, which is tremendously rewarding. Most of all you will end up having more fun with your horse than you ever though possible.
May you have a Happy Trail on your Journey and we hope to see you on the Trail,
Keith and Sherry Jarvis
