Schooling Young Horses with Warren Bengston


Warren Bengston has a heart for horses and people. He's invited everyone to come and watch how he deals with young, untrained horses. While he works, he'll share his knowledge about the horse's mind and his philosophy for working with them.
Warren works at a barn near Milaca. The first date for this year is April 19th. You can meet Warren at the Park Cafe in downtown Braham, Minnesota at 6:30 a.m. and caravan to the farm after breakfast. You may also go straight to the barn at about 8:00 a.m..
