Throughout the year I organize multiple workshops varying in topics. During the workshops we’ll explore the theory, make it fun and apply it in practice. Would you like to take part in a workshop or would you like to organize a workshop at your stable? Feel free to send me an email!
All workshops have the possibility for a follow-up. Generally part 1 will be given and on request part 2 can be given a few months later. However it is also possible to extend the workshop to a two-day clinic, where both part 1 and 2 will be given.
