Each morning will consist of
interactive vaulting, independent riding, horse care and handling, an
educational session on horsemanship, and a work project. Each day will also include special emphasis
on a specific horsemanship discipline:
Monday: “Vaults Up?” An introduction to interactive vaulting through
barrel work and on a horse will take place.
Interactive vaulting is a group activity where individuals perform
gymnastic positions on a specially trained and controlled horse.
Tuesday: “Westward HO”. An introduction to Western riding (Equipment and
equitation).
Wednesday: “The English Language”. An introduction to English riding (Equipment
and equitation).
Thursday: “Drive you Crazy”. An introduction to driving horses single and
as a pair through ground driving and a ride on a hay wagon.
Friday: “Trick or Treat”. An introduction to horse psychology and
training through tricks.
No prior horse experience
required to participate.
Cost: $200 per week-long session. Participants will be limited to one session.
Registration: A down payment of $50 along with registration
form and liability waiver required to hold a spot. Call or email to determine class availability.
Optional pre-class morning activity:
8:35 AM devotions: At Mesa Farm
we’re interested in promoting holistic youth development (hence the farm work
project). If you would like your child
to participate in a short Christian devotion prior to each morning’s session,
bring her or him at 8:30. They will be
over by 8:50 AM and your child can then wait with our staff for the rest of the
class participants to arrive for the 9:00 o’clock program beginning.
