To help track their progress, we have a detailed levels program. Each level has set tasks covering all 6 Dimensions.

The benefits of working with horses go far deeper than just a fun after-school activity. Children who work with horses regularly see an increase in confidence, determination, and patience. Working with horses helps develop valuable leadership and communication skills. It teaches children the value of hard work. Children who work with horses find themselves spending less time on screens and more time developing lasting friendships with other horse-loving children.
