This term a group of year 3-6 students had the opportunity to participate in an Equine Facilitated Learning Program. Each week these students have worked with horses, learning about how horses communicate and getting to help look after them. Through working with these horses’ students built their teamwork and communication skills.

Some student comments about the program include:

“I learnt how horses use their ears to communicate.” – Will

“Paddy was a very calm horse; he was my favourite.” - Edward

“We got to walk the horses and build obstacle courses for the horses.” – Clover

“ The program was good, it was fun, we learnt how to care for horses.” - Billi
