Equine Program
Our Equine Program is available to all children in foster and adoptive homes, 5-years-old and up. This program is great for riders of all ages.
Riders will build their self-confidence through learning how to groom, tack, and take care of their horses. Riders will begin to ride indoors, and progress as they feel comfortable.
Each week begins with the rider grooming their horse before preparing them to ride. Then they will spend time riding. It is amazing to see how much their confidence grows as the session progresses! Each rider is partnered with a horse for the entire session.
Equine Sessions
Fall Session 3: November 16 – December 16
Research suggests that children having relationships with animals have greater empathy, a greater sense of self-esteem and self-reliance, decreased feelings of loneliness, and greater social competence (Purewal et al., 2017).
We know from 30 years of experience that children who work with horses have greater empathy, build self-confidence, and improve their self-esteem. Sign your kids up today for an experience they won’t forget!
