An inclusive program for
children with and without
diagnosis
In this inclusive program, children between the ages of 6 and 9 participate with horses and learn important safety practices, including brushing, leading a horse, and untacking.
This program is ideal for children who are too young to register for a regular riding program, but still want to learn best practices and become familiar with being around horses.
