Brain Power "Bal-A-Vis-X"
These
activities are held primarily in our classroom and utilize balance boards, physio balls, mini-trampolines, I Gallop horse
simulator along with bean bags and raquet balls.
These activities involve balance, eye tracking, focus, and rhythm to help calm a person, help with coordination, attention span and motor skills to name just a
few. I have found that all students enjoy these activities because they are just plain fun! These classes are generally a 1/2 hr in duration and can be a private
session or up to 4 people.
Fees:
Private 1/2 hr session $ 20
2 to 4 people in 1/2 hr session $10.00 each
Activities with the animals
This can be
grooming the horses, taking them for a walk, bathing them, using them as your painting canvas, helping with injuries or feeding
and care. We also sit or stand
in the pastures watching the horses interact and build obstacles courses in the arena to lead the horses through. The
possible activities are endless. Students find it peaceful here at the farm and enjoy helping to care for the horses
and physically move around where they might not at home.
Therapeutic Riding
Therapeutic riding is an activity that is
beneficial physically because of the horses 3 dimensional gait as well as you have to re-balance with each step the horse
takes so your trunk gets a terrific workout. It can also boost ones emotional and mental state being in control of a
very large animal and they are looking down at everyone instead of people looking "down" on them. There are too many benefits to mention. Please feel free to ask specific questions.
Therapeutic Riding and Brain Power
We can combine these two activities and receive maximum benefits while at the farm. We start with 10 to 15 minutes of Brain Power to "warm up" our brains and bodies then have a riding session.
Traditional Horsemanship Lessons
We offer lessons for those intersted in learning all
about horses as well as riding. Our students delve into all aspects of caring for a horse including first aid, signs
of illness, and daily care. We feel that ground work is just as important as riding and in order to become an effective
rider you need to know all about your horse from the ground up. When appropriate students are taught to catch and halter
their mount, lunge and lead a horse safely. In the saddle students are taught to utilize their whole bodies to steer
and control the speeds of their horse. They are taught to read a horses body language to help with their riding and
precision of exercises.
We
utilize the indoor arena, the outside track and the trail for our lessons. We offer both English and Western so that students
can try their hand at each and decide for htemselves what they would like to learn.
Fees for the above:
Private 1/2 hr $30 Private 45 min
$40
Private hour
$55 Semi-private hour $35
