Demonstrations of Activities          Pony Rides for Children 8 & Under       Door Prizes

 

Why HorsePlay?  We teach more than just riding. We carefully pair activities to best support our clients' social and emotional intelligence. How? HorsePlay harnesses the unique teaching power of equines: they are prey animals whose survival is dependent upon their keen ability to read and respond to body language and other non-verbal communications. They are also 100% authentic and non-judgmental. In other words, no matter who you are in - rank or appearance - they tell it like it is. 

 

Hudson Valley HorsePlay, Kerhonkson, the region's only equine experiential learning center. HorsePlay structures observations and on-the-ground interactions with horses for improved social skills, recreational benefit, coaching, professional and personal development. Seasoned facilitators customize activities to address a range of themes such as Awareness, Empathy, Assertiveness, Building Trust, Planning, Communication, Leadership, Creative Problem-Solving, TeamWork, Accountability and others.  No previous horse experience is required.
