Why is this course price discounted so much? Although this course is worth well over $575 and filled with professional, college-level material, Saebra strives to provide education to instructors that is affordable and accessible and the pricing given to you reflects this mindset. She knows the time and investment instructors put towards their instructor journey...and she also recognizes the possible drastic difference in what instructors make across the EAS and traditional equine industry. The affordable pricing is also set at a rate that hopefully encourages participants to purchase the other suggested resources to add to their own "instructor library"!

NOTICE: Course payment registration is final and non-refundable once processed. If you are no longer able to participate in this course you are welcome to transfer your "seat" to another individual. Please reach out to Saebra at Saebra.p@hooffallsandfootfalls.com if this situation arises.
