Building the relationship includes learning to communicate effectively, which leads to trust and mutual respect.

Starting next Friday! (Running every other Friday for 4 weeks). All hands on learning. Connect with the horses and develop life skills along the way. A great starter program for beginners as well. Very safe and full of learning. Funding always available for kids struggling a little more. 🩵

Our first cohort of the Fall will start September 4th. Contact for details and to enroll your child.

💛I’m Going to Let Your Child Struggle 💛

When your child comes for lessons with me, I’m going to let them struggle sometimes.

They may have never fastened a buckle on a piece of tack. A saddle might be heavy and awkward. Their lead rope may be a tangled mess. And something that would take me ten seconds might take them five minutes.

I’m not going to immediately step in and do it for them. *Unless its a safety issue.*

Because someday, I want your child to walk into the barn, catch their own horse, tack up, and head out feeling completely confident in their own abilities.

Why?

Because they’re learning that they can do hard things.

So yes, I’ll help when something is beyond a child's physical ability. I’ll encourage, demonstrate, and keep them safe.

But when they *can* do it? I’m going to give them the time to fumble with the buckle. Untangle the rope. Try again. And figure it out.

Parents, I know watching that can be hard. You’ll want to jump in and make it easier.

But sometimes the greatest gift we can give a child is not making the hard thing easier.

It’s standing beside them long enough for them to discover:

“I can do this myself.”

We’ve acquired many of the supplies needed and have put some good work into repairing the shelter. If anyone has a lumber laying around they don’t need (7ft preferred) we’d love to put it to good use!

Also if anyone has an appropriate tool for cutting the metal roofing we’d appreciate a loan. Thank you!

This kiddo has brought her horse back to paddock to release her to the herd. What’s really happening? Hand eye coordination (halter and lead rope buckles/snaps), communication, empathy, growing confidence, relationship skills. All in a matter of 2 minutes with a horse 🩵
