In the Presence of Horses – Communication

July 17 - July 19

Free

Communication requires listening with our eyes. Join our herd in learning how communication plays a vital role in learning horsemanship skills or husbandry skills (as they are called in the equestrian world.) Your child will have the opportunity to enter into the “unspoken” world of a horse as they learn and practice what it takes to take care of them. Skills will include learning their non-verbal language, grooming, picking out hooves, haltering and the proper way to lead a horse.  As your child will discover how a horse communicates their needs to them, your child will discover how to verbally communicate his/her needs in a responsible manner. On the final day, the youth will apply their skills as they “communicate responsibly” the needs of their horse and human teammates through the Challenge Course.

Target skills: communication, responsibilities, and unique horse vocabulary. 

Date: July 17, 18, & 19 – Three consecutive days

Time:  Choose 9:00 am to 11:00 am OR 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
