Demand is rising for activities that remove adults and children from the confines of classrooms and cubicles and engage them in meaningful hands-on programs that build confidence and encourage responsibility. Greenacres Equine Center offers a safe place for children, ages eight and older, to learn to ride without the financial pressures of owning a horse. The goal of the program is to provide children with a unique array of equine-related activities that develop self awareness and esteem by learning to handle, care for, and ride horses.
