About Us
Xenophon provides private lessons to 58 students each week. Students come once a week for a 1/2 hour lesson. Volunteers assist with preparation of the lessons and horses (no horse experience is necessary), assist in the lessons as sidewalkers or leaders. The movement of the horse mimics a humans, so children that have physical disabilites are able to strengthen their core muscles and improve their balance in a fun, safe environment. Children with mental disabilites are challenged in other ways on the horse by a lesson specifically prepared for them by their instructor.
