Course Schedule |
We have
classes every month! Normal class schedule is 3 consecutive weekends,
however we will run a class for 7 consecutive days upon special request
with a 6-student minimum. Normal class size is to 6 students
which gives you more personalized instruction. If at least two people
supply their own horses, we will raise the course attendance to an
absolute maximum of 8 students.

exceed 8 students on a custom class basis. We do offer discounts per
student for large numbers. Contact us for details.
If you are from out of the area, we have a few Bed & Breakfast
establishments in the area that we recommend. We will be glad to send
you a list of these upon enrollment to the classes.

Advanced
Course |
More advanced
techniques are taught with an introduction to other elements. Learning
how to use the Horse Bow is the focus of the advanced class.
István Tóth, Master Horse Bowman and Bow Maker in
Hungary, make all
the bows that are sold through Seven Meadows Archery in Tacoma,
Washington. While we do provide a bow for our students to use, we
highly suggest you get your own either during or immediately after the
class, as the right bow for you is based on your height.
Additional training includes Sword Play on horseback. |

Deposit |
| A deposit of $350 reserves a student's place in a
specific class, with the balance being due and payable no less than 30
days from the starting date of that class. As the number of spaces in
each class are limited and may possibly be more difficult to fill with
less time before the commencement of a class, a deposit will not be
refundable for any student who cancels less than 60 days prior to the
commencement of that class in which they have enrolled. |
