Two Year Advanced Trainers Program

Two Year Advanced Trainers Program

Enrolment is limited to 6 students, for the 6x 1-week training sessions, over 2 years. Each session will be separated by an approx. 3 months. This will allow trainers time to absorb all that they have been working on and time to clarify those things in their own mind that theyā€™ll need to ā€œperfectā€. Keeping class sizes small allows Sandi to work more one on one with each student allowing more quality time. It is Sandiā€™s goal is to offer an amazing and emotionally healthy environment to train in. With the other students to work with and practice with, you will get a well-rounded education. This is your chance to open up enormous opportunities to you and your world for a completely new way of making a new way of living and training.

The Select Trainers course also covers problem solving, for all of the everyday problems we all face in the Equine Industry. Trainers will work through the program as if you are starting a young horseā€™s initial training all the way through to the higher-level performance for the more competitive rider.

The extra bonus to this individual program is that you get to re-invent yourself through your own journey of self-development with Sandiā€™s specialist

Self-improvement and coaching.

This training program is a very Intense, informative and rewarding experience that requires a lot of dedication and commitment both personally and financially.Ā
