Learning Sessions

Unmounted Horsemanship & Equine-Assisted Learning for Wellness, Confidence, and More

Get involved with our rescue horses, donkeys, and mule to develop horse care and handling skills while also building confidence, self esteem, problem solving skills, and more. Equine-assisted learning is a wonderful extracurricular activity to enhance anyone’s life, and our programs can be custom tailored for all ages and abilities.

Visit us weekly or every other week for sessions working with an equine partner and an EAL Facilitator, and find out what a rescue horse can teach YOU!

For Toddlers 🌱

  • Our toddler learning sessions focus on foundational skills critical for early childhood development, including socio-emotional, fine motor, and communication skills.

  • Tailored for little ones aged 3-4, this program incorporates sensory exploration and interactive storytelling.

  • Research supports the notion that animal interactions positively influence cognitive and emotional development in early childhood.

  • Through carefully curated activities, toddlers engage with our rescued equines, fostering a sense of wonder and laying the groundwork for future learning.

For Kids 🔋

  • Learning sessions for children and teens are designed to provide a comprehensive foundation in horse care and handling, while supporting kids ages 5-16 through common challenges of growing up.

  • Session activities emphasize teamwork, self confidence, problem-solving, and communication skills.

  • Research shows that equine activities promote emotional intelligence and resilience among adolescents.

  • Participants not only build confidence but also cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and how they interact with others through hands-on experiences with our rescued equines.

  • Our sessions are an excellent extracurricular activity for any animal-loving child, providing value skills that apply on and off the farm.

For Adults 🐎

  • Our adult learning sessions are an immersive journey into partnership with horses.

  • Whether you have always dreamed of working with horses but never had the opportunity, are returning to the equestrian world after time away, or are looking for a unique opportunity to find personal fulfillment, our learning sessions can be custom tailored to meet your needs.

  • Our adult clients range from individuals with no experience to equestrians who have retired their saddles for a variety of reasons. No matter your background, we are sure you will find a friend among our variety of rescue equines.
