Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Well 2019 has been, was, a good year. We said good bye to some friends, both human and horses but we met others and managed to have a great year. Looks like 2020 will be a busy year with teaching young folks about horses, through both the 4H program and my own Homestyle Riding program. I call my program homestyle for I really don’t fit into any normal discipline. I ride both english, western, and natural, all at once. I believe that riders and horses should both be enjoying the riding and we should play every day!
Now for 2020, I hope to have 2 or 3 horsemanship programs.
- The first one is my Summer Camps. I will try and run 2 a month, from May to Aug. I can only teach about 5 kids at a time in my camps for each student will be riding a horse everyday, Mon-Friday. After we get done riding, we will take care of the horses. Ages are 7 and up. Cost $275, Time 9-12, Mon-Friday.
- Second Program is for 4h-ers that are signed up for a Horse Project. This is a limited number as I’ve only have so many horses i can Use. First they have to be signed up in 4h, then they have to join my 4h project, cost $200/month, meet 6 times a month at my place and work/ride horses. Min Age 10.
- 3rd Program is for Smaller Kids, 3-7. Young kids with a parent or other adult get to come learn about horses, have a lesson and hopefully go for a trail ride. 2 Hours of Horse packed fun! Cost $45/Student, must have min of 5 students to set up class.
- After students have completed one of my camps, my intent is to have them riding in the afternoons, one day a week. Again, will need 5 students to make this a go.
