In Memory of Ozzie (Wizard of Oz)

 
Ozzy- Loved kids and was loved back by them, was "the best" turnout buddy, he got along with everybody. He Stood like a statue when the kids were around him.  LOVED being drawn on, then bathed.  Taught students to keep their legs tight . . . he was an Arabian after all.  Was the 1st horse most students cantered on, Deb could just tell him to canter & he did.  He instinctively knew how many steps to take until a student could go around the whole ring . . . then his job was done, they could move on to someone else.  He had the best mane to play with and he was the perfect color to practice bathing . . . so satisfying to get him clean . . . OZZY YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR YOUR KINDNESS & PATIENCE FOREVER . . . WE WILL LOVE YOU & MISS YOU.

What we do . . .in a week
Hands on: We learn the parts of a horse (we have a very unique way of doing this), groom the horses (including bathing & clipping) learn names of all the grooming supplies.

Interact with the horses by leading them, lounging them and riding them.  We ride bareback too (as experience allows).  We load a horse on a trailer.

Classroom: We learn about barn & horse handling safety, parts of saddles & bridles along with general knowledge of horse care (first aid, bandaging legs & feeding).  We look at various colors, breeds & explore the different disciplines in riding.  Because there are over 40 horses on the property along with young babies, children can see the wide range of horse types.  When possible students will also observe a blacksmith, massage therapists (for the horses) and Veterinarian at work.  We'll watch some film on our Olympic Riders.

We ride in the rain (in our 80'X200') Indoor arena or shine in one of our 3 outside rings

We complete a weekly craft and play games.  Each week your child will come home with a folder of knowledge.  

Happy Riding, Deb
