STUDENT-LED EQUINE & ANIMAL PROGRAM

Learn real animal care, leadership and farm operations, with safety and mentorship built in.

After a short pause, our student program is officially reopening. This is a hands-on, structured learning opportunity for students aged 12+ who want experience with horses and rescue animals, while building responsibility, confidence and leadership.

Program Options

Whether homeschooled or a public-school student, we have options designed for almost every schedule. 

Homeschool Student Days

Best for students who want:

  • Daytime structure + enrichment

  • Animal care experience and routine

  • Leadership roles and real responsibility

  • A supportive, supervised environment 

Public School Student Days

What Students Do

Students are part of a structured team and rotate through supervised roles such as:

  • Basic grooming, tacking up and riding (when appropriate and supervised)
  • Property upkeep support (safe, age-appropriate tasks)

Not just a "come hang out with animals" program, but a real learning experience with clear expectations and mentorship

  • Willing to work as part of a team

  • Motivated to learn (even if it's not glamourous)
