Horsemanship Club = Fun!
11 September 2009
Seven kids started our Wednesday afternoon Horsemanship Club this week. Vashon schools started on Tuesday after the rainy Labor Day weekend, and the second day of school was a good day to get together at the stable! Welcome back, everyone! The kids got their colorful HC folders and their first packet of curriculum materials. Each week Emily will cover a different topic with the kids, they will have some hands-on time with me or one of the other horses, and even have a field trip, a visiting equine professional, and view short videos of pertinent info. Sherman was the lucky horse this week: he was a good model for talking about obscure and not-so-obscure parts of the horse, and he got a very thorough grooming. Where’s your elbow (ulna)? Where does your spine go in your neck? Check this out to learn about horses’ elbows and necks (the facts may surprise you!). I hope you can join us at Horsemanship Club – it’s really fun and the kids are all friendly!
