We had another fabulous week of school visits!

Students partnered with Henry to create “horse-assisted” art projects and build their teamwork skills. This is experiential learning at its best!

Henry also visited Cardinal Manufacturing to take a sneak peek at the horse platform/ramp that students in the construction class are building for our arena!

✨✨✨Dreams do come true… ✨✨✨

When I began my certifications in Equine-Assisted Learning, it was my dream to offer sessions during the school day by bringing horses to school…. My goal has always been to make horse/human interactions accessible to ALL and build upon the amazing SEL skills already being taught at school.

Today was the beginning of the adventure! Henry came to school to partner with Auggie, the school’s therapy dog, for Enrichment Day sessions. We spent all afternoon making animal-assisted art projects, practicing partnership and leading skills, and just smiling and enjoying relaxing time with two amazing animals!

I owe a HUGE thank you to Jessa Payne who is the school nurse and therapy dog handler at the School District of Eleva-Strum. She has believed in this dream from the beginning and was instrumental in bringing it to life ❤️

Henry Horse has been partnering with clients for walks on the trails!

Equine-assisted learning is centered on experiential learning and these walks have been the perfect opportunity to explore leadership, mindfulness, and being fully present in the moment.

Our new bridge is complete and Henry had the privilege of being the first equine to test it out!

This bridge connects our lower arena & learning space with the walking area around the pond and to our pasture.

Snow day!

We love seeing these boys play 😍

Many friends have asked how our horses are doing in this cold snap…. The answer: Great! Our herd lives outside 24/7 but there are a few simple things we do to make sure they are healthy in the cold- 💦 Unlimited Heated Water- When water is frozen or very close to freezing, horses tend to drink less which greatly increases their risk for colic (twisted intestines: painful and often fatal) The average horse drinks 10-12 gallons of water a day! 🌱 Unlimited Forage- Our herd always has access to hay. The process of fermentation in their gut generates heat to keep them warm. Plus- horses are grazing animals and in a wild setting they would eat up to 18 hours a day. Each of our horses eats between 15-20 pounds of hay daily. 🏠 Shelter- We have a large shelter in pasture that they all fit in to get a break from wind or snow. When they are using this space more in the cold, we clean it daily, check for safety, and keep hay in there as well as at their manger. 🧥Blankets- This is a decision based on each individual horse. It depends how thick their winter coat is, if they are wet, their weight, wind, sun… so many factors! In general, if a horse has snow or ice sticking to their back, it’s a good indication that they are staying warm because body heat isn’t escaping to melt the snow. 🗓️ Keeping Routine- Sudden changes to a regular feeding routine or living conditions can cause more stress than good. We keep our exact same morning and evening grain schedule regardless of the weather. If you made it this far in the post…. Thanks for reading! I hope you learned something interesting!

Our girls spend so much time caring for our animals. The impact on everyone is priceless ❤️ Hope you enjoy this video that Addy (age 11) created!
