Redtail Equine Center is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing equine assisted learning and team-building experiences through interactive, experiential activities with horses. Through the horse-human connection, opportunities for personal growth and development are created.

Hobby-Horse is a horseplay program developed for children, both individuals and groups. It utilizes the natural curiosity of children and the love they have for horses. It focuses on experiential learning: learning by doing. When presented with a unique set of challenges designed specifically for each learner, children will practice following multi-step directions, while utilizing higher order thinking skills and problem-solving strategies. So often parents ask - how can we teach problem-solving? Here is the answer - through equine assistance.
- improve verbal and non-verbal communication skills
- strengthen listening skills
- improve self confidence and self esteem
- attain immediate, honest, observable feedback with cause and effect situations

While teams work together they will clearly see the cause and effect relationships brought to the surface by their equine partners.
