Internship Program
Assist instructors with overlooking the volunteers and our special needs students. Duties depend on experience. Petting Zoo/Farm Tour
Guest can pet, feed, brush and/or hold our large variety of animal friends. We have: bunnies, goats, chicks, ducks, pigs, tortoises, guinea pigs, donkeys, lamb, alpaca, llama and a calf. Participants are encouraged to practice kindness, compassion, and communication with their new animal friends. HAPPI Farm offers a hands-on class which includes feeding, washing, grooming and caring for our friendly farm animals. Riding Lessons and Therapeutic Riding
Therapeutic Riding and Riding Lessons are supervised and demonstrated by professional riding instructors and are assisted by a horse handler and side walkers. Lessons are oriented to accommodate and assist students with special needs. Participants learn safe equestrian skills and good horsemanship. Equine Therapy, particularly, improves muscular strength, motor coordination, flexibility, posture, balance, and endurance, as well as confidence and independence skills. Equestrian Activities
These hands-on activities can, but do not necessarily coincide with horseback riding. Activities are offered to those who want to develop a relationship with horses and to learn safe equestrian skills. Activities include, but are not limited to, how to care and feed horses, groom (brush, wash and pick hoofs), saddle, tack and lead a horse. |
