Each class is designed to teach the students all aspects of horsecare including grooming, tacking, leading and riding, based on their ability. Safety is the most important aspect of the therapeutic lesson program. All volunteer horse leaders and sidewalkers are taught advanced leading skills, proper tack inspection, and have background information on each rider. The leaders and sidewalkers aid in communication between the instructor and the student with physical manipulation and vocal encouragement. Every Instructor is Canadian Equestrian Federation Certified and has current first aid training.
Instruction is given in Western style riding.
