While encouraging healthy development and school readiness through purposeful play, children learn about the Sanctuary's horses and the basics of natural horsemanship.  This educational class includes 7-8 minutes of individual riding time. Activities will vary and may include feeding, grooming/bathing, cleaning, craft activities, etc. Parents/Guardians must be present and involved in class which runs 1-1.25 hours long.   Appropriate for children age 1+.

Just like Old McDonald, our Little McMe's will learn to care for all the Sanctuary's animals which may include: horses, donkeys, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, tortoises and turtles.  Activities and animal interactions will vary in each class and may include feeding, grooming/bathing, cleaning, craft activities, etc. Old McDonald would be so proud! Parents/Guardians must be present and involved in class which runs 1-1.25 hours long. Appropriate for children age 1+. 

Mindfulness and connection begin with the breath. Learn how to combine the art of meditation, yoga and natural horsemanship practices both on and off the saddle. Grooming and tacking up are an integral part of the lessons which are 1 hour. Great for beginners and those that want to improve balance & alignment.

Our Horsey & Me kids can graduate into our Mini-Lesson program as early as 3 years old. Mini-Lessons are thirty (30) minutes.
