Camp Programs
Learning about horses and ourselves through
​
Horse Centred curriculum and Equine Assisted Learning.
This combination creates a program where the participants learn and improve their horse skills, while also learning and improving their leadership skills.
What does the Horse-Centred curriculum teach?
​
This groundwork-based curriculum encourages students to deepen their understanding of equine behaviour and communication, developing practical ground handling and training skills.
What are the goals for the curriculum?
​
There are four levels designed to accommodate various groundwork approaches, with the goal of creating well-rounded trainers who can choose and use methods while prioritizing partnership and the horse’s well-being.
How is the groundwork progression structured?
​
The HorseCentered curriculum consists of three progressive Levels: Red, Pink, White and Gold. Each level contains twelve objectives, covering equine behaviour and training philosophy as well as hands-on ground handling.
​
For which students are the Horse-Centered Levels appropriate?
This curriculum is appropriate for students with the maturity required to learn basic training theory – typically aged 8 and up. Riding ability is not required, but students must be physically capable of handling a horse on the ground independently.
Equine Assisted Learning?
Equine-assisted learning is a fancy way of saying learning with horses. Our horses work with their human partners, creating a partnership, in teams of two people and one horse, the navigate obstacles and challenges. Learning life skills, communication, and social cues this helps to improve leadership and personal empowerment.
