Unmounted horsemanship focuses on developing a rider’s connection, trust and communication with horses without getting in the saddle. At RDAQ, these sessions encourage participants to interact with horses safely and confidently through grooming, leading, feeding and groundwork exercises. Each activity helps build strength, awareness and empathy while teaching important equine-handling skills.
Unmounted sessions are tailored to suit a range of abilities and offer an inclusive way to enjoy the benefits of horse interaction. Whether as a first step toward mounted riding or as a regular program on its own, unmounted horsemanship provides an empowering and rewarding experience.
