Back to school “fall” schedule. Well it’s still summer here and hot. We are in full swing of lessons and trying our best to provide our sessions. Adaptive riding, Equine Assisted learning, academic and Special Olympics. Wowwwww so much going on. We can’t wait until next year to have a covered arena and to be able to provide services to a better and higher level.

08/14/2024

We are so blessed to be on our way to building our covered arena. This summer has been so challenging to provide our services to our community. The heat in the sand arena can reach over 120 degrees by mid day. It is our hope and prayers that next summer we will not suffer or lose lessons due to the heat or rain. Thank you to York Electric Cooperative for your grant of $10,000 to build our covered arena. We are so grateful to you for loving our mission, students, horses and teams.

Our Olympic teams are training and working on their trail class, equitation, pole bending, barrels and dressage. We have so much variety this year with the classes. The sportsmanship is the best. A great way to learn the trail pattern is to have the athletes put it together themselves. This works on teamwork, problem solving and FEELING PROUD of themselves. Way to go Saturday Olympic team. 🏆🏆🏆

How do we measure our students goals? It is essential that we effectively write measurable goals for evaluating a participants progress. S.M.A.R.T goals: Making sure that our goals involve skills that are within the participants Zone of Proximal Development. (ZPD). Instruction is most effective in this zone.

What is Successive approximation? It is a helpful teaching method, when we praise and reward small steps toward a bigger goal. For kids with special needs, it means celebrating each achievement on their journey. Successive approximation is highly effective for children with special needs, as it provides structured and motivating guidance in building crucial skills, fostering confidence and independence. ❤️❤️❤️

Re-Evaluations and Progress Reports help us set goals for our students and help determine what areas we need to work on. Seeing progress is such a wonderful part of our evaluations.

I wanted to take a moment to shout out to all teens that come here and are so incredibly dedicated to changing life’s. These young adults are learning what it means to help others, be patient, give of themselves and learn that we are all unique in our own special way. They can choose to be at home, watching TV, playing video games or hanging out with friends. However they choose to be here making smiles happen and making new friends with the same huge hearts. Thank you to our young adults for being awesome.
