Educating and Uniting People and Horses Through the Essence of Horsemanship

Pine Knoll Center for Integrated Horsemanship provides educational opportunities and programs designed to support an “integrated” approach to optimum wellness and performance of both horse and human. We are dedicated to documenting and preserving the Art of Riding and Horsemanship through our Essence of Horsemanship programs. Our programs emphasize the importance of the “whole picture”: incorporating Emotional Conformation Profiling of the Equine Athlete, Round Pen, Groundwork, Seminars on Integrative Healthcare, Farriery, Dentistry, Biomechanics and Personal Performance Coaching.

We have created an environment where horses and riders will maximize their abilities and fulfill their aspirations.

Our prime location is in the middle of the Kentucky Bluegrass minutes from the Kentucky Horse Park, Masterson Station Equestrian Center and 12 minutes from Lexington Bluegrass Airport and Keeneland Race Course. We are surrounded by some of the most stunning thoroughbred farms in the world and close to two major veterinary hospitals.

TRUST

Our goal - your trust - horse’s trust = UNITY

The Essence of Horsemanship Program

Like the foundation of a building, if one step is incomplete the structure is compromised influencing everything built from the foundation up.

The same building principles apply to the relationship and training of your horse.

Whether you want to trail ride, or jump at the Olympics, there are fundamental principles to a “solid foundation”.

Our comprehensive educational programs, combined with the support of our expert clinicians/consultants, and team of integrative care professionals, provide opportunities to expand your knowledge, and build a solid base in your chosen “area” of horsemanship.

WELCOME … please join us as we explore the art of “dancing with your horse”.
