The Amicus Horsemanship program works with the Homeplace Ranch to deliver a fun and impactful experience learning from and with horses. Horses are herd animals, and just like us, they need to pay attention to the social cues of others to see how they should act and respond. This is the basis of our horsemanship program. Working with the Homeplace Ranch, who have over 40 years of horsemanship experience, we have developed a unique program to use horses to teach participants about the ins and outs of social skills. Participants will ride horses in this program, as well as brush, groom, lead, and saddle the horses.
Families are responsible for their own transportation out to Homeplace Ranch in Priddis, AB (directions).
**Please be aware that with any Amicus Recreation program, we require a minimum number of registrants in order to run the program. In the event of program cancellation due to low registration, Amicus Recreation will notify families with a minimum of 1 week's notice and issue full refunds for anyone registered.
