Horseback Riding
K-2 Intervention Program
 The
K-2 Intervention Program involves students in a horseback riding experience at
the Yellow Springs Riding Centre. The
program,
sponsored by the United Way, Yellow Springs Community Council, Ohio Silver, and
the Mills Lawn PTO, is designed to help children increase self-confidence,
improve physical balance and awareness, and enhance concentration and retention.
With the help of volunteers from Cedarville
University, the Riding Centre teaches students about horse equipment and
basic riding skills. Back in the classroom students learn facts about horses,
what they eat, and some basics of care. They read books about horses, make
puppets and write individual responses to their experience for each lesson.
