Personalized Care and Attention
“Learning Lessons “are designed for foster, adoptive, and underprivileged youth interested in learning about horses and riding (includes a therapeutic component).

The “Learning Lessons” program provides hands-on learning about horses, different breeds and their uses,different styles of riding, horse tack, horse care, and introductory riding lessons, so children can choose the best fit for their life.

• Children “adopt” a horse to care for during the course
• Learn to love. care for and respect the horse
• Learn to “get along” and respect themselves and other people (some children with special needs often have trouble in social situations)

• Includes half-hour group classroom session
• Provides appropriate handouts and worksheets to assist the children
  in learning the subject matter
• Children must master horse basics before learning to ride

• Semi-private or group riding lessons with trained volunteers assist the children in putting what they learned into practice

There is a small fee for the workbooks and children must have boots (for safety). Many boots have been donated and may be available for sale at a nominal fee.

Grooming is important for the horses comfort and cleanliness. It’s a great way to spend time with your horse and get to know him!

We also offer “Learning Lessons” to the general public to help fund our programs. We charge $25 per session. In the beginning, sessions may last about an hour. Once the kids start riding and have learned the foundation basics for safety around horses, we begin having them ride. These sessions are usually at least 90 minutes, at no additional charge. We encourage parents to stay and learn what their kids are learning, at no additional charge!
