My child has been working on calming techniques for when his temper flares or he feels out of control of his emotions. The potted herb plant and deep breathing techniques practiced add new tools to his toolkit for managing his emotions.

When asked what new skill they learned, Sora, a summer camper, said, “When the horse gets scared turn it one direction, then turn it in the other direction, let the horse look at the thing that's scaring the horse and then keep going.

My son has had the opportunity to experience horsemanship and to improve his riding skills these past 5 years through various guest ranch experiences and horse camps. This camp furthered his confidence in his own abilities and in helping others with their new adventures on horseback.

This program was highly effective for my daughter. The teacher and horse facilitator were both patient and kind as they led the children through the activities and helped her understand the different sounds in the ‘magic e’ rule and horsemanship skills.

The ladies were incredibly gentle with my daughter, the activities were slow and intentional, fun, educational, and my daughter had a BLAST! I would highly recommend KinderHorse to any small child interested in horses.
