About This Activity
Get a sneak peek of our popular nature-based afterschool program! Take your love of horses to the next level with our Horse Connection Class! This class is a great opportunity for both new and experienced students to learn about horse care and history while meeting other equine enthusiasts. Students will practice their horse-handling skills through hands-on activities like grooming and leading and increase their knowledge about horse safety, anatomy, tack and equipment, behavior, and herd dynamics through crafts, games and horse care activities. This non-riding class is focused on developing deep emotional connection to horses and developing confidence on the ground Students must safely be able to: Follow verbal directions Maintain quiet bodies and calm voices in horse zone Gently groom and interact with the horse on the ground Wear appropriate safety attire (boots) Feel comfortable working on the ground with the horse (ex: grooming, leading, tacking, etc) Note about Neurodiversity: Sienna Ranch is not a certified adaptive or therapeutic riding center.
