The Barn School is open to everyone and all are welcome. It's the online location where all the courses are taught, live chats happen, and the place like-minded horse people meet to support each other. Like Facebook but without the hustle.
The Barnies are a special sustaining group within the school that dives deeper into the Relaxed & Forward philosophy as well as Affirmative Training and the study of Calming Signals. Not a time-specific course of study, but rather an ongoing group, following where the herd leads us or our members request, committed to learning, inspiring each other, and doing our best for horses. Barnies are the heart of Relaxed and Forward Training.
Barnies are sustaining members, their subscription fee supports my work and the overhead costs of operation of the Barn School. Any generosity on my part comes from them. Thanks, Barnies, I can’t do it without you.
