Joining the Program
We aim for a fun and safe environment. Groups mainly consist of junior students from the local special development school but we also cater for a small number of individual riders.
Mainly concentrate on mounted games and activities, sessions usually are for groups of four riders. Each activity has a stated focus, e.g. a specific equine focus holding the reins, steering, identifying the parts of the horse, or can be focused on hand-eye coordination, movement to music, teamwork and numerical activities. We hire a large indoor arena and meet on a weekly basis during school terms.
