HORSE SCOUT Program
What it is: A fun way for equine students of all ages to get more HANDS-ON knowledge of horse keeping and being a well-rounded equestrian! Earn a medal at the end! Horse Scouts are generally held every other Saturday afternoon December through March.
Each 3 hour Scout Session will include:
Hands on Skill Practice with the horses! (Deworming, first aid, mixing feed, saddle fitting and much more)
Classroom type learning (breeds, colors, conformation are just a few topics)
Helping with all sorts of barn chores (cleaning, cobwebbing, bucket scrubbing etc., usually about 30 minutes)
A take home worksheet (credit for session won’t be given until completed assignment is done)
If we have time, we’ll play a fun game or make a quick craft in the theme of the session, we may even go snow tubing with the horses!
8 Sessions (with one extra snow date) will be planned with a different topic each time.
Some dates may change according to weather and schedule.
If Students come to 4 sessions they get a bronze medal, 6 sessions get silver, 8 sessions get a gold medal for participating! (I will also have 2 extra credit tasks)
Cost for the Horse Scouts Program is $150 each person for the entire length of the program due at the start of December, Dec. – March. and will include a T-shirt!
Suitable ages are 8 and up, adults welcome to participate as well to become WELL-ROUNDED HORSEMEN!
