Equine Education Program
Basic Horsemanship for Children and Adults
This program teaches the basics of horse care and safety. Most programs are done in a series of three to five sessions and include some mounted component. We design activities that are age appropriate for each age group. For example, our playgroup participants help to put out hay and help to fill water buckets to learn about what ponies need to eat and drink. We can customize these programs for small groups.
Pony Play Group Program - Especially for ages 2 to 3. Children will participate in grooming, leading and feeding the ponies. Not a drop off program. Pony rides.$10 per session.
Preschool and K Program - Especially designed for pre-readers. Children will learn all aspects of horse care and horse safety. Not a drop off program. Pony Rides $10 per session.
Early Elementary - For the early reader, grades 1 to 3. Same items as the preschool program with more sophistication. Not a drop off program. Includes a short lead line lesson $20 per session.
Elementary - For grades 4 and 5. More than just the basics. We will learn about the basics with more detail. Children may be dropped off. Includes a short lead line lesson. $20 per session.
Middle School - Grades 6, 7, 8. The same basic curriculum as our other programs with more emphasis on the management of health and training. Children may be dropped off. Includes a short mounted lesson. $20 per session.
Adult - Horsemanship 101. This is the ideal program for adults who want to find out more about horses and for parents just entering the horse world with their children learning to ride.
