Happy Kids – Happy Horses

A five-day residential life skills horse camp for young people. Students learn to keep themselves safe on and around horses. They experience the games horses play with each other. Their games of respect, boundaries, relationships, leadership and trust are all great metaphors for life. Participants gain confidence with others and a better attitude towards themselves whilst building relationships, self esteem and stimulating their leadership skills and lateral thinking. No previous experience with horses required

Horsepower

Provides interactive experiences with horses to bridge the gap in the lives of youth missing a sense of self, belonging, and place. Well-designed for youth at-risk groups and referrals. Works as prevention, intervention, or diversion. Horses and facilitators create experiences where participants learn to feel connected to others through practicing caring and appropriate behaviours.

Ground-based natural horsemanship activities and equine assisted learning in the round pen and arena are emphasised.

Run With The Herd

Structured to bring adventure-based experiences with horses that teach the positive value of the individual as a positive member of the herd. Geared to young offender programmes and referrals, or any prevention, intervention, or diversion program. Emphasizes interactions with individual horses, smaller bands of horses, and the entire herd. Focuses on finding a personal place of self-worth and a positive place in the herd that relates to life outside the arena.

Participants learn to practice mindfulness, build self awareness regarding choices, and contribute to healthy alternatives for themselves, their group, and the herd.
