The Steinmühle School & Boarding School’s Equestrian Club teaches 5th and 6th graders the basics of horses
Why and how do you groom a horse? How do you properly fit a saddle and bridle? What belongs in a horse stall? — Students in grades 5 and 6 learn how to properly handle horses and provide optimal care for these four-legged friends on Thursdays from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. in the riding club at the Steinmühle School & Boarding School.
The program teaches important basics about horses. This helps the children gain the confidence they need when interacting with the animals.
- What should you keep in mind when interacting with horses?
- How are they kept, and what do they eat?
- What does care involve?
A specific topic for each club meeting
At the Steinmühle Riding School, led by Beate Schridde (Level A Instructor), there are club activity leaders with experience working with horses. They gently and properly introduce the girls and boys to horseback riding.
“In every club meeting, we discuss a specific topic,” explains Julia Werth, who, during one of the most recent club meetings, helped the students decorate the “spring ponies” while the sun shone brightly in the sky.
Over the next few weeks, there will certainly be more fun club sessions for grades 5 and 6 at the Steinmühle Riding School.
