Educational Consulting

for Horsemanship Programs

Your expertise as a riding instructor or other equine professional is founded in a love of horses, for your discipline, and in sharing those passions with the students who seek your guidance. At Equine Connection Center, we share this perspective and offer our expertise in providing horsemanship with an education-backed approach. We are here to support you in building comprehensive programs that not only instruct students in your discipline, but provide a solid foundation in horsemanship, life skills, and valuable unmounted instruction that will separate the riders from the equestrians.

A consultation with ECC will allow your program to benefit from our unique approach in combining our experience in horsemanship and equine-assisted learning with our background in classroom teaching, instructional best practices, STEM education, and curriculum design.

  • Unmounted Lessons

    Specializing in helping you develop and deliver engaging unmounted lessons for a program that builds well-rounded equestrians. Work with us to custom create “barn lessons”, “rainy day plans”, and groundwork activities your students will actually look forward to and your lesson families will support.

  • Incorporating Life & Social Skills

    Even traditional riding lesson programs can offer students the benefit of intentional incorporation of life and social skill instruction aligned with the natural benefits of working with your horses. We can assist you in seamlessly integrating leadership, communication, mindfulness, and other soft skill instruction to add value to your programs.

  • Equine Science Based Instruction

    Expand your programs to include the fundamental components your students, as future horse owners and equine professionals, need to understand how to maintain happy, healthy animals by incorporating formal instruction on nutrition, veterinary care, husbandry, and more.

  • Full Program Curriculum Services

    Stuck developing plans for your lessons on the fly? Unsure how to measure student progress or how to supportively educate your students to become well-rounded equestrians? Allow us to audit your current program approach and lessons, and to assist you in reinforcing a research-backed educational foundation for your programs.
