Let your elementary-aged child explore the world of horses and farm life through fun activities, songs, and lots of animal encounters. Outside time at the barn can build confidence and often encourages better nighttime sleep. Designed and implemented by a licensed teacher and riding instructor, this session has lots of activities to engage all children, with accommodations and supports implemented as needed. Adults attend the playgroup with their child.
