Registration for Rookie Riders 1 is still open!
This program offers a fun, safe, and confidence building experience. Rookie Riders was created to increase participation in Equestrian sport and build a strong foundation for long-term athlete development. Children will develop balance and coordination while learning and/or developing essential riding skills in an engaging and supportive environment. Meant to increase physical literacy, the Rookie Riders program is a comprehensive program that teaches activities and skills that are fundamental to success in horseback riding and other sports. Rookie Riders 1 uses a combination of barrel and ground-based activities and games as an introduction to riding and to develop riding skills. Rookie Riders 1 is an inclusive program that is open to anyone with or without a diagnosis.
Once Rookie Riders 1 is completed you are then eligible for Rookie Riders 2! In RR2, you apply the skills you learned and developed in RR1 on horseback! These types of skills align with FUNdamental movements and mental skills that are age and stage appropriate for children aged 6 to 12, in accordance with the National Sport for Life Long Term Athlete Development model. Therefore, our Rookie Riders program is open to children ages 6-12 years old.
