It is hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner. Our lives continue to be enriched by the folks coming out to learn about horses.
Very exciting this year has been the number of young children coming out to Horse Around. In the past, our program has focused primarily on teaching adults because I thought the amount of content would bore young children. Well, I was wrong. We do keep the sessions shorter for children but they are just as keen to learn about horses as adults and once the techniques are mastered, they are able to effectively manage the horses on the ground as well as any adult. It is amazing to see a wee young girl handle our big 16.1hh Skeeter effectively - and he listens.

Also this year has brought more folks who already own horses and are wanting to improve communication with their equine companions. It is fun to teach folks who know very little because they have no preconceived ideas. It is also very rewarding to work with folks who already have a horse and watch the improvement in the relationship they have with their horse.
Have a wonderful Christmas with your friends and family!
Tovie, Gord and the "Boys.
