Horsemanship Course
An in-depth course starting with daily care, grooming, tacking, and use of tack and equipment. As the student continues to advance the course will cover areas such as driving, handling, and basic training techniques. This course includes a thirty minute private lesson. Each horsemanship course is one hour and thirty minutes.

Competition Opportunities
All academy riders have the opportunity to participate in competition once they have achieved the necessary skills. Executive Farms attends local and regional horse shows that include special classes for the academy rider riding a lesson horse. And for the more advanced riders using their horse of one of ours. Competition is a fun and rewarding avenue that not only develops the rider's horsemanship abilities but also builds self-confidence and improves the rider's self esteem. Executive Farms also participates in Michigan winter tournament shows. These shows are held once a month in the winter and are a great opportunity for the kids, from beginner to advanced.
