Fall/Spring Homeschool Class
New to our Horseback Riding Program, we have developed a Homeschool program with the goal of combining basic through advanced horsemanship with equine studies to create a complete education. Students progress at their own pace with the focus on developing a solid foundation both physical and academic. Students will attain practical experience working with horses.
The program consists of several levels, beginning with level 1. Level 1 provides the student with a basic introduction to horses, riding, and safety. Each level provides opportunity to explore a different discipline of horseback riding. This enables our students to receive complete well rounded horsemanship skills.
On the first day, Academy student receive a level one study book. Students should read at least 15 minutes every day in order to learn what is needed to pass their levels. Each level has its own study book and homework. Students turn in homework each week, which is graded. Students progress at their own rate; they can pass as quickly or as slowly as needed. Students that have learning disabilities can have their test orally and/or broken down into smaller sections when testing. In addition, a pretest is required before testing in order to insure that students have a good understanding of the academic and lab portion of their level.
Classes are three hours long, this includes; turning in assignments, catching, grooming and tacking horses, and a one hour riding lesson pertaining to the students current riding level and bookwork, testing, games and ranch playtime and lunch(brought by the student). Classes will hold up to 12 students with one to two instructors.
