“Peek-A-Boo! Where are you hiding my students?”

While our community partnership groups are up and running again, our summer session of therapeutic lessons has had a slower start the last couple of weeks due to extreme weather. We are thrilled to report that we were able to hold all lessons finally this week!

Thank you to our students for checking their emails for updates. We hope the weather continues to trend cooler!

Another of this week’s lesson activities was a creative take on a local fall tradition. Apple picking in the local mountains is quite popular. We created our own apple orchard and the students picked apples to deliver to Horse Town. Check it out. Lots of great stuff extension, cross body coordination, spacing, and steering practice. Happy Fall! #beaux #applekiwi #oly #honey #max #vinny #partnersth #adaptiveriding #horsebackriding #appleorchard
