“Horses carry the History of Mankind on their broad backs.”

Another Way’s Equestrian Program enhances the student’s education in a whole child approach. Working with horses teaches empathy, compassion, responsibility and requires consistency in the student’s actions. Students learn equestrian tack, grooming, saddling, bridling, leading, mounting and dismounting using a fixed stand and mounting block, care and maintenance (including feeding, watering, hoof care), natural horsemanship that is basic to advanced level riding (Western and English) and trail riding. Horse interactions are deeply satisfying, kinesthetic, and tactile experiences that complement the student’s study of natural and human history through the Montessori Time Lines. Horses have been heroes and beloved friends for thousands of years. Our language is filled with references to them – high-spirited, horsing around, unbroken spirit, unbridled passion, well groomed, horse power. At Another Way, we study the evolution of the horse, anatomy, physiology, and the partnership between man and horse in the history of civilization. Our equestrian program integrates Pony Club, Natural Horsemanship, and personal instruction in English and Western riding. Our loving and dedicated horse staff are: Black Jack Roni Blondi Piper Storm Mini Mabel - Miniture Lilly - Miniture |
