We go the extra mile for our kids at Trillium!
The
Trillium Equine Complex is delighted to provide a unique educational riding
environment for our young students. Riding is only one segment of this
overall balanced riding lesson program. As an added bonus, all children
taking lessons receive a FREE
MEMBERSHIP in the fun-driven and study series Clip Clop
Club.
Children receive a membership badge, their own newsletter, certificates for achievement levels in horsemanship and equine knowledge. They attend club meetings with a host of creative, hands-on activities designed to entertain, while providing a keen learning experience. Children in the Clip Clop Club develop life-skills that involve a measure of responsibility, degree of focus, enhanced self-esteem and practical care of their purebred Morgan Horse tutors.
Special in-house events, guest speakers and off-site day field trips are
designed to provide extended education for the child. Parent volunteers
are most welcome and in fact encouraged to participate in these special events.
Our riding program promotes safety, balance, patience and compassion for the horse.
