Becoming the Competent Rider
5 students maximum

2 weeks of intense work include daily riding with a Success-Centered™ emphasis (keeping your riding interest in mind), relevant lectures and experiential activities required to build a foundation of theory and experience. A variety of equestrian philosophies and concepts are presented including classic riding and training techniques, Centered Riding®, The Balanced Seat, and TTEAM®. The work of a number of noted trainers and instructors from a variety of disciplines is also cited and considered. This workshop is open to students and instructors wanting to update information, deal with adult rider issues, and increase competence and confidence. Besides honing riding skills, participants cover topics such as training, equine management and physical conditioning of the rider and horse in this comprehensive SCRT™ program. The students get to enjoy an "off-the-farm" experience too during a half-day field trip on driving. One afternoon our farrier discusses and demonstrates hoof care techniques. Students have the chance to ask questions and learn responsible hoof-care management. Included in the cost of tuition are a textbook, Resource Notebook, a workbook, the use of horses and tack and a personal video of the rider for home use. The rider/student's day begins by 8:00 am and ends around 4:30 pm with a 30-45 minute lunch break (student provides their own lunches/snacks). Among the SCRT™ programs, "The Classic" is respected worldwide.

A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 USD (applied towards tuition) is required with registration.

PROGRAM FOCUS OPTIONS: Most SCRT™ Intensive participants enroll in the Track A program option, listed above, receiving a "Certificate of Completion" at the program's conclusion. A Track B program option is also available for participants in which they are required to complete assignments throughout the workshop. Near the workshop's conclusion, Track B participants must also complete a practical exam and a written exam; a take-home exam is due for completion in about four weeks after the end of SCRT™ I. Exams are graded and the grades appear on the back of the certificate. "Track B" is especially helpful to those participants looking to receive academic credit from their schools, or those wanting or needing a graded SCRT™ certificate to meet various accreditation requirements.

An additional charge for processing the assignments and exams for "Track B" is $150.00 USD.
