Kids N Horses

February 13, 2023 by Horse Tales Nevada Leave a Comment

kids n horses picThis year, Kids &Horses put together a calendar highlighting our incredible horses and what we do. Calendars can be purchased for $20 at the ranch or on our website. Enjoy viewing our talented horses and students each month through the year. They are inspiring! If you’re interested in getting a sneak peek or purchasing your calendar now, click HERE. Please note that shipping fees will be included on online purchases.

The Kids & Horses 2023 “Healthy Horse” campaign is alive and well. The goal is to have donors support daily care for the horses we lease. This includes quality feed, medical and dental, farrier services, and anything else they may need to make their place here as our equine partners healthy and happy. A horse at a center has a challenging job with the variety of students riding and the many volunteers and staff involved in the handling.

The winter weather has been a detriment to our ability to work with our students. The cold, along with the rain, snow, ice, and ground conditions, has made it impossible to move horses around the property. Our main concern here at the ranch has always been safety. This includes the safety of our students, clients, volunteers, staff, and horses. Staff and volunteers have come in daily to help with ranch chores. The wet conditions and heavy snow have made it a great workout for all of us.

Thanks to a generous donor, we have leveled our barn aisle, next to the covered arena, and lined it with sturdy rubber mats. This helps with erosion and provides a flat surface for our students, clients, volunteers, and horses to walk on. It’s a great way to keep the area clean and a great place for the farrier to work when the weather is bad. We love it!

Our dementia workshops, in conjunction with Connected Horse® are scheduled again this spring with a session on April 22, 29, and May 6. A second session will run May 27 and June 3 and 10. The workshops are on three Saturdays from 9:00 until 11:30. Flyers will be out soon and sent out electronically. If you know anyone with an early-stage dementia diagnosis and their care partner who might be interested, please have them give Kids &Horses or Connected Horse® a call. Kids &Horses will be hosting a facilitator training along with the Connected Horse® founders March 31-April 1. A flyer will also go out for this in case you have an interest in working with this population.
