Service Description

ABOUT THE PROGRAM The Junior Grounded Horsemanship Program is a calm, hands-on learning experience designed to teach children genuine horsemanship from the ground up. This program is more than just riding lessons. Children learn how to safely understand, care for, communicate with and work alongside horses while developing confidence, responsibility, emotional awareness and foundational riding skills. At EKE, we prioritise: safety, horse welfare, confidence, calmness, connection, and correct foundations. We do not rush children through riding stages. Most riding is completed at a walk while children develop balance, communication and confidence before progressing further.
