Fun on the Ranch Morning Sessions

DSCN2658Here is your child’s chance to be a real cowhand! The curriculum is flexible depending on the group’s abilities and interests, but following is a sample curriculum.

Day 1 will introduce your child to the barn rules, our staff and herd, and horse basics (catching and moving safely around horses as well as essential knots they will need to know). We will culminate with a horse ride in the round pen/arena while we play fun games, practice our balance, and learn basic riding skills.

Day 2 will include a review of the day before and a more focused lesson in the arena. If students are ready we’ll ride in the foothills. And finally,
Day 3 will take us out onto the ranch’s winding, rolling, wooded mountain trails (provided skills are there) for a ride with a picnic lunch. Everyone will help with the chores from feeding and watering the ranch horses, bathing/grooming, mucking, and tack organization.
