Overview:
Horses are highly social animals that rely on clear communication and strong relationships within their herd to ensure their safety, well-being, and happiness. Let’s explore what we can learn from the herd during a morning of play and connected relationships with horses and humans! This is an unmounted workshop, and no prior experience with horses is necessary. This class is designed for 8 kids ages 8 to 13 years old. Come prepared to spend time outside from 9:00AM to 12:00PM. Hendo Care Farm is located in the township of Fruitland (next to Edneyville). Exact address will be emailed after registration.
Why Horses as Teachers?
Goal Setting: Horses are excellent at reading our energy and intention, and they won’t know what we want from them until we are clear with ourselves about our own goals. We will work together to set clear, achievable group and individual goals.
Teamwork: Horses are herd animals, and they understand the importance of working together in community. Participate in team-based activities that will enhance your child’s ability to collaborate effectively with others.
Verbal and Nonverbal Communication: Horses communicate through body language and give immediate, honest feedback. Learn to understand their signals and improve your own communication skills, both verbal and nonverbal.
Basic Horsemanship: Gain a deeper understanding of horses, their behavior, and how to care for them. This knowledge will help foster respect and compassion for all living creatures.
