8. Training with Members – Feather Light Academy

I recently posted that I had to reschedule the Problem Solving Training Masterclasses due to Covid19 (I hope everyone is fine!). However, I did liked to do something in regards to this theme.

Therefore I am helping horses and owners with their issues in a free session at my stable. I will publish these full training sessions for all Academy Members as a new course, so we can all learn from these interesting and valuable problem solving cases! Learning from each other is the best way to improve ourselves.
