Making Strides offers a program for scout groups who are interested in learning about horses and horsemanship!  Our program runs approximately 2 hours (depending on the number of scouts) and meets the requirements of the Horseback Riding Badge

 

Learning Activities Includes:

•    Tour of the Farm and “Meet the Horses”
•    Everyday care of the horse 
•    Safety around horses
•    Grooming demonstration and then a “hands on” introduction to grooming  
•    Introduction to basic riding, learning skills such as mounting, dismounting, walking, stopping and turning with the help of the riding instructor.

•    Snack time 
•    Lets Ride! Sit in the saddle and take hold of the reins.... The instructor will lead you on a short ride in order to get the feel of how the horse moves.
