About the event
This four-week course is an introduction to becoming a safe, diligent, and valuable stablehand. This is an unmounted horsemanship class (no riding involved). We will cover topics related to horse behavior, reading horse body language, safe horse handling on the ground, and tasks such as cleanliness, biosafety, cleaning stalls, washing buckets, horse nutrition and feeding. We integrate life skills such as honesty, integrity, identity, communication, and faithfulness. Classes will begin at 10am on Tuesdays and finish around 12pm. Included in the course are 8 hours of instruction and application ($360 value) study handouts, and a certificate of completion when done. This course is a prerequisite for our Intermediate Stablehand course.
Who is this for? This course is designed for kids aged 9-12 years old. (Future stablehand courses will be incorporated for young people aged 13-18.)
What do the students need to bring? Closed toe shoes, ideally boots of some kind.…
