REAL Learning : Recognizing Equine Assisted Learning

Heading out to the farms today to check horses and do some riding. Taking on new clients for general lessons, mental health, EAL. Also getting the day camp schedule ready to go. Possibly a couple of camps during winter break and spring break depending on covid restrictions. I ride and teach all year round.

I have references. 3069601449 for inquiries and info

Sunday was our last day to ride no stirrups November

The trick to riding in winter is layers. The wind was a bit harsh but once we got onto the trail, it pretty much disappeared. Some playing in the pen after was pleasurable. Chip doesn't like the balls but Champ is getting way better with them. Playing with the horses help to descentize them. The next time something is blown at them or moves unexpectedly they are less likely to be alarmed. Students participating in the exercise learn to be aware as well

Lessons continue all through winter. The trick is to dress in layers. No bugs either.

Spectacular ride today. Even the cowboy joined us. Jim/Clyde, Harold/Smoke, Tracy/Champ, Raven/Chip, Ruth/Ghost, Laura/Dan, Trinity/Beauty, Viki/Romeo. Rode a side trail to the island and rode the regular trail back. We stopped to take in some beautiful autumn colors and scenery.
