Equine Assisted Learning

Equine-assisted learning is an innovative approach that uses interactions with horses to promote emotional growth and learning. It can significantly benefit children in the following ways:

​

  • Emotional Intelligence: Working with horses helps children understand and manage their emotions. Horses are highly sensitive creatures that respond to human emotions, teaching kids to be aware of their own feelings and those of others.

  • Communication Skills: The non-verbal communication required in equine-assisted learning enhances a child's ability to interpret body language and improve their communication skills.

  • Problem-Solving Abilities: Children learn to approach challenges from different angles, fostering creativity and critical thinking.

Crafts

The crafts component of the youth day provides a creative outlet for children, allowing them to express themselves and learn new skills:

​

  • Artistic Expression: Craft activities give kids the chance to explore their creativity and create something tangible.

  • Fine Motor Skills: Engaging in crafting helps develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.

  • Sense of Accomplishment: Completing a craft project boosts a child's self-esteem and provides a sense of achievement.

Horsemanship

Horsemanship is more than just riding; it encompasses understanding, caring for, and building a relationship with horses. At Lucky Break Ranch, children will gain:

​

  • Knowledge of Animal Care: Kids will learn how to take care of horses, which includes feeding, grooming, and understanding their behavior. This instills a sense of responsibility and empathy toward animals.

  • Leadership Skills: Handling horses requires confidence and leadership, skills that are fostered through various horsemanship activities.

  • Patience and Discipline: Working with horses can be a slow process, teaching children the value of patience and consistent effort.
