Horse riding lessons offer a fun and engaging introduction to horsemanship for aspiring cowboys and cowgirls. Lessons focus on helping children grow in their horsemanship skills through hands-on learning about horse behavior, caretaking, tacking, groundwork, and riding.
Because horsemanship involves much more than riding, children typically do not ride during their first few lessons. Time spent learning alongside horses in an instructive environment support confidence and communication for children in foster care—skills that extend far beyond the arena.
Children living in a foster or adoptive home, ages 5 and up, may register for 1 semester of horse riding lessons.
A semester of lessons consists of 16 individual, 1 hour lessons on the same day at the same time each week for 4 consecutive months.
Thanks to generous donations, the cost of sessions is greatly reduced.
There is only a $30 registration fee.
