Montana Horse Sanctuary's educational goal is to provide humane, affordable workshops for the benefit of horses and their people.

Montana Horse Sanctuary holds a variety of interesting, pertinent and low-cost workshops each year in various locations around Montana. Our workshops are attended by beginning to advanced horse people as well as trainers, veterinarians and other horse professionals.

Basic communication between horses and their people is essential for progress at any level -- training, riding, handling or health. Our workshops focus on providing horse people with fundamental tools and techniques. The concepts taught are based on the horse's point of view.

Our instructors are experienced, professional and articulate with a strong commitment to teaching horse people more about their horses.

Successful 2008 workshop season:
Our workshops program reached out in two new directions this year: to 4-H members and to law enforcement. Due to the huge amount of work getting the new ranch ready and safe for horses we did an abbreviated workshop effort this past summer. Teton County 4-H members participated in a two-day horsemanship workshop with Jess Holloway as the instructor. The young riders were amazing and they learn so quickly. This workshop was co-sponsored and organized by the Teton County 4-H Horse Council. In conjunction with the Humane Society of the United States, Montana Animal Care Association and Montana Department of Livestock we offered a two-day workshop on equine cruelty investigation and custodial care to law enforcement and shelter workers. This workshop was well received and was attended by 55 people from four states! Many law enforcment agencies as well as brand inspectors have requested a repeat performance next year.
