Little ones Love the Riding Academy

The little ones had a wonderful afternoon on the Horse Ranch! Cody had a helmet on the minute he and Aubrie found the Tac-Room. He was ready and raring to go {sorry bear not for awhile}. Aubrie found a swing that she would pretend was a horse,while Cody pushed her {fun}! Aiden found a sweet horse named "Grace", he said "She has a great personality"!

The Riding Academy (Equine Science 1)

English and Western Lessons

(Equine Science 1)
Typical Lesson

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 alternates from Western to English; level 1 western, level 2 English, etc. This enables our students to receive complete well rounded horsemanship (riding) 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.

Home Schooling Programs
The Riding Academy is proud to offer a unique program to its students. This program was developed, in 1994 and designed to help students/parents and instructors chart progress, obtain goals, and be rewarded for hard work. It also allows parents to be an active part of the student’s progress, by helping them study. These classes are rated as a P.E. class and an Elective Science class (life Science). We embrace the home schooling philosophy by having students progress at their own pace with the focus on developing a solid foundation both physical and academic.
