Did you know that horses don’t hold grudges? Why, because they listen! This program will help your child discover that grudges are often based on feelings and not facts. Your child will have the opportunity to learn and practice the number one skill to prevent and bust those grudges immediately (from the horses themselves).
Does your child struggle with free time? Are you tired of hearing the words, “I’m bored.”
Your child will have the opportunity to structure his own fun (learning) with other children and youth as they enter the corral gates into the land of “make believe.” A variety of props will be available for the kids to create their own adventures. Horse time is included.
From infancy to old age, we all want to be competent, connected and in-control. Your youth (while partnered with a horse, of course) will have tons of opportunities to make choices as they participate in challenging activities. Together with their human and equine teammates, they will learn that choices do have consequences that affect more than just themselves and what it means to be competent and connected while being-in control.

Communication requires not only listening but also hearing. 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.
Did you know that spending time with horses isn’t always about “doing” but it is also about learning to be present and staying focused which translates into developing “self-organizing” habits? Each student will be tasked with focusing on one horse to learn horse markings, breeds, color and its unique characteristics. Students will be responsible to organize their time each day in order to complete each “necessary” task working toward the final goal. On the final day, students will show-case their “self-organizing” skills by presenting a detailed report describing their horse to their teammates.
