Our program dives into the world of horses and riding with our AMP Stables Equitation Club.  The club is suitable for those with no previous horse experience. This program will include guest speakers and even more hands on experience as we dive deeper into our introductory program topics plus so many more.  

 

Taught over the year with each class being divided up into interactions with horses (feeding, grooming, tacking, care and riding ) and units of interdisciplinary study. Some topics are listed below and will be broken into age appropriate materials. 

 

- Science (Riding healthy horses, biology of horses and horticulture) 

-Math (horse measuring and weighing, economics of horse ownership) 

-History (history of horses and traditions of breeds) 

-Physical Education (riding and conditioning for riding)

-Social Studies (Herd Dynamics)

-Literature (horses in film)

-Art (drawing and painting horses)

-Equine First Aid and Safety 

 

Although the topics listed above are important to further the students understanding of horses the most important aspect of our program is the life skills that come from our weekly interactions with horses. Working with horses develops compassion, problem- solving and communication skills that build self confidence and leadership skills
