Alternative Learning Program

Our education programs are truly unique. Each one of our riders not only have hands-on experience with the horses, but they also have an online and in person curriculum through our Alternative Learning Program (ALP) which is available to all students no matter what program they join. 

ALP provides students a library of hundreds of instructional videos to enhance their equestrian experience. The core instruction on the site follows the principles of the American Hunter/Jumper Forward Riding System and will benefit those in any jumping discipline at any level. Additionally, our ALP Program also provides the best from Dressage, Eventing, and Western Reining Olympians and World Champions, not to mention top veterinarians, farriers, judges, course designers, sports psychologists and a wide array of accomplished equestrian specialists with years of expertise. Students also have access to monthly seminars with some of the top professionals in and out of the equine industry.

Prior to students mounting in their horseback riding lessons, students use Google Classroom to engage in conversations among their peers and coaches to discuss what they have learned through videos and other curriculum. Using technology-based learning, these visual tools open the door to a wealth of knowledge provided by some of the best riders, coaches and industry professionals the world has to offer. 

In addition to equestrian related education curriculum, students in our organization also participate in educational programs focused on STEAM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math), Career Development, Financial Literacy, Creative Thinking, Literature, and more. All classes build upon students’ equestrian experience and is combined with horse-related activities to provide a unique and engaging learning experience for youth. Here are some examples:
