Lessons are held on a weekly basis with 2-4 kids per group. Kids will participate in all aspects of horse care, from grooming and cleaning up manure to first aid care and riding. In a typical lesson, kids will start by helping groom and saddle their lesson horse. They will then spend the remaining 45-50min riding. On days when the weather is poor, we will focus on other aspects of horse care, including bathing, clipping, bandaging legs, taking vitals, feeding hay, learning all about horse nutrition, farrier work, and much more. I believe it is crucial for kids to be a part of all the elements of horse care so that they can experience what it is really like to own one of these amazing animals!
Way more than riding!!!
