THE ORGANIZATION MOTIVATES CHILDREN TOWARD SUCCESSFUL LIVES BY HELPING THEM DISCOVER THE JOYS OF READING AND THE WONDERS OF LEARNING THROUGH THE MAGIC OF BOOKS AND THE POWER OF HORSES. THE ORGANIZATION'S GOALS ARE TO PROVIDE A MANDATORY LITERACY COMPONENT IN A SAFE SETTING.
THE FIRST GRADE PROGRAM INSTILLS THE LOVE OF READING IN STUDENTS BY COMBINING A LIVE HORSE EXPERIENCE WITH WALTER FARLEY'S BOOKS, LITTLE BLACK, A PONY AND LITTLE BLACK GOES TO THE CIRCUS. TRAINED STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ARRIVE AT THE SCHOOL WITH HORSE IN TOW AND MEET WITH FIRST GRADE CLASSES. THIS IS REFERRED TO AS THE "FIRST CONNECTION". AFTER A BRIEF PRESENTATION ON THE IMPORTANCE OF LITERACY, THE STUDENTS ARE INVITED TO PET THE HORSE. AS SOON AS THEY HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY, THEY ARE GIVEN A HARDBACK BOOK WHICH IS THEIRS TO KEEP. IN APPROXIMATELY 30-60 DAYS, FIRST GRADERS EXPERIENCE A "SECOND CONNECTION" WHERE THEY LEARN AND PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES REGARDING HOW TO CARE FOR HORSES. SPEAKERS DEMONSTRATE FEEDING, GROOMING, ETC. THE 4TH AND 5TH GRADE PROGRAM INSTRUCT THE CHILDREN ON THE IMPACT HORSES HAVE ON SOCIETY FROM A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE. THE 4TH GRADERS LEARN ABOUT HOW HORSES SHAPED AMERICA IN THE 1800'S. THE 5TH GRADERS LEARN ABOUT HORSES IN THE MILITARY; FROM THE REVELUTIONARY WAR, CIVIL WAR, WORLD WAR I AND WORD WAR II TO THE KOREAN WAR. BOTH GRADES LATER ATTEND A SHOW FEATURING OUR HORSES.
