The Stabled Horse
Activities will be centered on the horses’ life in the stable and the pasture.  Your children will learn about the daily tasks involved in caring for horses such as grooming and feeding practices.

 Horses &Nature 
Our activities will focus the horse’s biological journey through time. The horses habitat, diet and physical makeup will be emphasized on these days.

Horses & Sport 
Activities will be focused around horses in sports.  Your children will learn about English disciplines: Hunters, Jumpers, Dressage, Equitation, Eventing and polo.  They will also learn about Western disciplines:  reining, and barrel racing. 

Horses & Society
Activities will be focused around horses and the evolution of their  role in society. Your children will learn how horses gave humankind an extreme advantage and how they helped spread the English language and western ideologies throughout the world. Additionally we will discuss how the industrial revolution changed the role of the horse in society from commonplace transportation and worker into the world-class athletes we know today!

​Horses: The Study, The Story, The Stage & The Screen
Activities will focus on the influence of the horse in art, literature and film.  From Pegasus and the Trojan horse of Greek mythology, to Walter Farley’s black stallion, we will examine the common themes the horse evokes in famous works of literature, art, and films.
