How much hands-on horse time?
Our students receive three lessons per week, plus they are required to put in rides outside of class. So that is about ten hours total. All teaching classes and herd management, anatomy classes incorporate a hands-on portion nearly every lecture period. All students participate in a Required Work Ministry experience program, where they work in crews to feed and clean stalls, and do ranch chores as well as serve one weekend a month in our weekend camp programs and also in our Fellowship Riding Lesson program after school for the public one or two nights a week.
