The Afterschool Program represents our main programming development focus. It operates afterschool for 3 days per week during the school year, with clear periodic student development goals and requirements. Programming includes appropriate support for our self-development goals for our students. Safety is the most critical element of our programming, which involves a safety driven approach of growing student-horse interaction from zero at program start, up through full student riding independence, based on students graduating through program development requirements.
The Equestrian After School Programs at Compton Jr Equestrians provide students with a unique opportunity to engage with horses while developing essential life skills. Each session is designed to promote personal growth, teamwork, and responsibility, fostering a sense of community among participants. Through structured activities, students progress from basic horse handling to riding independence, all while adhering to rigorous safety protocols.Â
This program not only enhances equestrian skills but also boosts confidence, discipline, and problem-solving abilities. By integrating educational elements with hands-on experiences, our equestrian after school programs ensure that students leave with a well-rounded understanding of horse care and a deeper appreciation for the equine world.
