Front Row Seating at The Horse Ranch is the opportunity to learn first-hand, in a private setting directly from Glenn Stewart as he works a variety of horses at various stages through his Horse Development Program. He could be working with colts or putting the finishing touches on his top-level horses – his Dream Team.
This is a unique opportunity – you will be able to watch and learn as Glenn is working and sharing with you what is happening in real-time. You will see his Stages program in action and how a variety of horses – at different levels of training – learn under his clear, consistent guidance.

Front Row Seating is an awesome interactive learning opportunity unlike any other I have experienced. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I have done camps, clinics, and auditing before, but front row seating has been my favourite educational experience to date, the opportunity to watch Glenn in his element, with colts, and with his own horses. In a very relaxed and enjoyable setting Glenn brings the stages to life and is able to show how they come together from start to finish. Which comes in handy when you have your own horse there working on the stages, you can see and do, and get guidance from Glenn.”⁣
~ Blair Dyck, Hanley, Saskatchewan – Front Row Seating participant, 2019

You will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the day – getting the answers you need to improve your horsemanship directly from Glenn. You can choose to bring your own horse so you can practice what you’ve learned each session or observe and immerse yourself in this unique learning opportunity.
