Having problems with message search?
split into three groups, one for farm work and catch halter lead tie, one for grooming and saddling, one for riding. Rotate.
the ones that start w/farmwork (stall cleaning etc) make out best because they work their way up onto the horse, it's natural.
each time they can be given problems to solve as a group. We usually have at least two children per animal, especially to support one another for the riding (lead lining) w/o stirrups and hands in the air. they take turns and mentor each other.

Just wanted some feedback from others in terms of group activies. I
have 25 middle school kids coming for a couple hours. I am looking for
a creative way to split them up into smaller groups and yet keep every
engaged. I have an idea of what I want to do but thought I'd check in
& see what has worked for others.
Thanks for any feedback you would like to provide!
Jasmine
