Do you want your young person to learn skills for life in the July school holidays?

Abi from Lincoln

Do you need something for your young person to do during the July school holidays that gives them skills for life? We can provide an exciting, fun educational outdoor activity where they will learn about decision making, how to increase self esteem/confidence, leadership and much more. Elements of the programmes include a lesson using horse whispering techniques encompassing ground and ridden skills, learning how to care for your adopted horse or pony for the duration of the programme as well as creating friendships in the equine and human form. For full days then there is also a chance to discover the local countryside from horseback.
Several options available from half days to multiple days starting at $50. Discounts if more than one family member attends the same programme. For more information and the specific dates offered please head to our website (www.abiricketts.com...) and click on the options and events pages. To make a booking please contact us, before you miss out on the limited spaces available. We look forward to extending your skills with our or your equine friends as well as meeting you.
