Christian Relationship Training/Life-skill Training Through Horses -
Students are exposed to a role reversal with horses, the rider is the parent and the horse is the
child. This allows them to learn about loving relationships as is illustrated in the Bible. Bible
teachings and lessons are correlate to riding. For example, parent or rider must correct or teach discipline, and
must love and take care of the child or horse simultaneously. We also teach life skills that they can take into
the world-being on time, communication skill, a job well done and common courtesies.
Kids will have independent time with the horse.
They must be able to work independently.
Each student will need:
Watch
Helmet (Bike helmets are ok)
Apples and/or
Carrots
