An Equine Education Experience is a unique and engaging one-time experience offered to groups of 4 - 18 participants. This experience is designed to provide a variety of equine-related activities to individuals with physical, cognitive, sensory, and learning disabilities. Participants rotate through three 30-minute stations, which ensures a well-rounded experience that combines fun, learning, and connection with the horses. Stations are discussed with each group prior to the scheduled date.
Stations may include:
Therapeutic/Adaptive Riding: Participants enjoy time in the saddle, practicing skills such as balance, steering, and connection with the horse in a safe and supportive environment.
Unmounted Activities: Participants learn to bond with their horse from the ground, gaining experience grooming, saddling, or leading their horse. Participants may do arts and crafts activities, like making horse art or horse shoe crafts.
Horse Nutrition: Participants are given the opportunity to understand what keeps our horses healthy and strong. They may bake horse cookies for the horses, learn how to measure grain and hay, or explore our hay barn and hay fields.
To participate in an Equine Education Experience, participants must be at least 4 years old, be within our weight limit policies, and have a medical clearance from a licensed physician.
