Ages 3–6 | Trinity River Farm & Equestrian Center
Our Preschool Equine Development Program is a unique early childhood learning experience designed to help young children build the foundational skills needed for school readiness, personal confidence, and future horseback riding success.
Developed by an occupational therapist with assistance from education professionals, experienced riding instructors, and early childhood educators, this program supports children in developing essential skills aligned with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills early learning standards for pre-school, including:
Social skills and emotional expression
Listening and following directions
Language and communication skills
Balance, motor skills, and body awareness
Self-concept, confidence, and independence
Children learn through guided interaction with horses and structured learning modules focusing on horses and development learning. Children will participate in guided hands-on farm experiences in a calm, supportive outdoor environment.
While many young children feel a strong connection to horses, safe and successful riding requires important developmental foundations. Our program helps children to master these skills first, ensuring they are fully prepared for future riding lessons when the time is right.
Led by a degreed special education teacher and supported by our experienced farm team including an occupational therapist, this program provides individualized attention in small group and private settings.
In addition to preparing children for future riding, we believe that parents will find that the skills developed here help support readiness for kindergarten and early elementary school
