Overview of Programs and Projects

Rose of Sharon Equestrian School currently offers programs in therapeutic horsemanship for people with disabilities, volunteer opportunities for retirees, service learning projects for middle and high schoolers, remediation classes for students at risk of academic failure, and merit badge workshops for scouts.

The School's programs address the needs of the novice and instruction is intended to develop skills in basic horsemanship and stable management. Special programs can be designed to meet the requirements of an individual or an organization.

While the content of our program focuses on horses, the benefit of involvement reaches well beyond the barn. Parents and participants report positive growth in the areas of: self-confidence and social interaction, emotional and psychological well-being, physical strength and stability, as well as improvement in schoolwork and family relationships.
