Youth Program
Programs are versatile and can be tailored to the specific needs, abilities and objectives of your group
Hoof in Hand implements the Cartier Building Block Program Series TM©, number one Equine-Assisted Learning curriculum in North America. This objective driven curriculum consists of twelve 1.5-hour sessions where learning takes place through positively reinforced interactions with horses.
The curriculum is client centered, using horses as barometers and facilitators as guides to encourage self examination. Our experiential learning program focuses on one objective at a time. We can design single workshops or a multi-week program building on previous sessions.
Equine-Assisted Learning programs are unmounted and no prior horse experience is necessary
Youth Program
Youth programs are designed to offer each participant the unique experience to work with and learn from the horses through fun and engaging horseplay!
We strive to empower our youth with skills and abilities to overcome personal challenges and cope with social pressures.
Our unique hands-on learning curriculum offers opportunities for kids and teenager’s to develop confidence, increase self esteem and improve communication.
Partnered with a horse, team members are encouraged to be creative, innovative, accept responsibility and accountability and embrace diversity. They will recognize the value of trust, teamwork and respect.
Kids group: Age 7-12
Teen group: Age 13 +
The takeaways will transcend their time in the arena into their daily lives.
“ Hoof in Hand took care to set up a great experience for my students. My grade 8 class showed empathy and patience with the horses and later we were able to integrate what we'd learned into the school environment. Very expanding and heart warming for all involved ”.
