Getting in Shape for Spring Session

This is how we start getting our 4-legged friends in shape for their spring work...lots of 'hacking' to build bone density and healthy tendons and ligaments. Thanks to some good little riders we can get multiple horses out for their exercise at one time.

The Wonderful World of Horses

The Wonderful World of Horses is a hands on, classroom style learning adventure for anyone eager to learn more general and specific information about horses. This winter four hardy and enthusiastic young ladies 6-9 years old have been attending the class every Wednesday. They are learning about horse breeds, nutrition and feeding practices, and the rhythm and footfalls of all the gaits. They have enjoyed the opportunity to engage with our horses in a different way...from the ground, not up in the saddle! Most importantly, they are connecting the dots, learning things that will maximize the experience of riding lessons later in the spring.

2014 - The Chinese Year of the Horse

We are looking forward to a terrific year!
Even though the snow is here and the horses are playing and resting up, we are planning ahead for Spring Session.
Currently we are hosting a Horsemanship Class for 6-8 year olds, studying horse breeds & sports, nutrition, the rhythm and footfalls of horse gaits and other fascinating things. It is inspiring to see how engaged and clever these young horsewomen are and how quickly they connect the dots! Stay tuned because Registration Information for Spring Session will be posted March 1st!
