Homeschool With Horses & Horse-Powered Learning
Homeschool approved vendor for equine-assisted enrichment programs and alternative learning methods
​​​
Equine-assisted learning provides a multi-sensory learning environment that engages different learning styles. It encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence through horse interactions. Kids learn by doing, which can be more effective than traditional classroom methods.
​
Learning Can Be Fun! ​
Kids enjoy hands-on learning with horses in a fun, flexible, and engaging outdoor setting! Our one-hour sessions focus on basic horse skills through interactive ground activities. It is a great way to get fresh air, exercise, and build confidence while connecting with horses. A welcome break from screens and traditional academic work! Working with horses fosters responsibility, self-control, and communication, among other valuable lessons.

Learn About Our Equine-Assisted Learning Programs
Homeschool with Horses for Special Needs
If you're seeking neurodivergent-friendly homeschooling programs, equine-assisted learning is especially beneficial for children with special needs, learning disabilities, and neurodivergence, offering a multi-sensory learning experience that supports various learning styles.
​
Equine-assisted learning can substantially improve the social and behavioral functioning and language abilities of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
​We support neurodivergent learners (e.g., ADHD, autism, sensory processing challenges) by offering movement-based, non-verbal learning experiences.​ We can also help support IEP and ABA goals for charter schools and school districts in the Southwest Riverside County.
"I can't speak highly enough about how equine-assisted learning, under the guidance of Marina, has transformed my child's life. From the moment we met her, Marina's patience and intuition were palpable. She seemed to understand my child's needs instinctively. And she worked diligently to create a safe and welcoming environment."
Physical Education Hours
Spending time with horses is an excellent way to stay active and enjoy fresh air. Whether it’s playing games in the arena, cleaning stalls, grooming, or walking to the pasture, these activities help keep your body moving.
​
It is also a great way to earn Homeschool Physical Education hours!
Healthy and Happy Horses
Horses that are often overlooked due to age or injury find renewed energy and purpose through meaningful connections with people, particularly kids. Equine-assisted learning plays a vital role in their health and happiness, and the fees help ensure they receive the care they deserve.

We are nestled at the foot of the mountains, overlooking Lake Elsinore. Come and enjoy this remarkable safe haven.
