At Happy Trails, we understand that not all participants are comfortable in a group setting therefore the programming offered will be specifically designed to satisfy each participant’s needs and may vary to include horseback riding according to the mobility and circumstances of each participant. The flexibility of the program will ensure that all participants have a pleasant, satisfying and rewarding experience. The program offers a hands-on approach and will be modified where necessary so participants can take an active role in the day to day care, grooming and feeding of the farm animals. They will also have the option of participating in the farms daily living activities. A better understanding of farm life, the animal and the food chain will be acquired.
Basic horse care will be demonstrated and practiced by the participants. They will have the opportunity to create a bond with his/her horse by grooming and caring for this animal before riding occurs. This will help alleviate some of the anxiety that can be associated with riding for some of our participants.
Included in the program are nature walks in a wooded area with proximity to a beaver pond alongside the Mer Bleu conservation area. In this setting, children and adults will be able to learn about the eco-system of our area.
The participants may take part in an organic gardening experience; a great way to learn about the different vegetables and their origins.
Available on site is a warm and cozy cabin, where a well deserved rest, snacks and lunches can be enjoyed.
A variety of other activities can be made available and adapted in order to meet the needs of all who are interested in participating in the program. Please feel free to contact us with any specific requests.
