Surefire Horsemanship, LLC
Giddyup Gang Kids Group 1-3 riders
Ages 3.5 - 11. For new younger riders who are non cantering or mostly walking. Leading available
Service Description
Must be evaluated by Hannah or Vicky in an orientation or mini orientation under "First Visits" before doing the kids group. This is a part time group offered for young students. If a single student shows up, lesson will be shortened to 45 minutes altogether. There are leadline options available to teach the kids how to steer with help. A lesson form and liability must be filled out. Lessons students must not be swapped back and forth. This lesson is about fun, mostly walking, some trotting once cantering child must move to groups or privates. We focus a lot here on balancing, some games, and overall good awareness and decent horsemanship. Think tumbling but instead of gym....horses. It is ran similar to a camp social activity but is one hour long. There may be themes weekly. Students must acquire their own safety gear. Students are expected to move on 6-12 months to privates or real groups or for more in depth instruction, this is not a cantering based class. We want to keep things slow and easy for the more nervous kids.
