Horse Experience Day Juniors

A fun and inclusive holiday day for young people aged 7 – 11 to spend the day learning how to care for and train horses and learning how a horse’s mind works. Through working with the horses the young people will improve in confidence, communication skills and teamwork skills.
Join the Strength & Learning Through Horses team to spend a day learning to train horses. Our staff team of horse behaviourists will teach you how a horse thinks, what worries him and what motivates him. You'll use this knowledge to build a relationship of trust with them and train them to undertake a number of fun activities. Activities include: 
- Putting on head collars and basic horse handling skills 
- Grooming the horses 
- Ground based horse training activities 
- A competitive obstacle course to put your horse training skills to the test 
- The day will be fun and light hearted and is suitable for young people with no horse experience as well as the more experience horse people, there's something to learn for everyone. 
All the work is from the ground, no horses are ridden.
