Warm Beach Horsemanship

“Horsemanship has made it possible for Camp SunSparrow participants to have an up-close and personal horse encounter like never before!”

“…a particularly valuable experience for many Camp SunSparrow participants, including those who seek and crave a high level of sensory input. This (high intensity) sensory input, in turn, helps many individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities feel calmer and more regulated. From the coarse texture of a horse’s long mane to the silky smoothness of their muzzle, from the earthy scent of barn life to the familiar neigh offered as a greeting. The horses involved are blessings from God, providing campers with an uncommon and highly rewarding therapeutic experience that they await with great expectation.”

– Adriene Duguay,
Developmental Disabilities Ministries Coordinator

Warm Beach Horsemanship Volunteers are honored to bring horses to Sunsparrow and build these beautiful connections!

The last month has been busy at Warm Beach Horsemanship! We are so grateful for the generous donation of lumber from Cascade Lumber & the construction from JTI Fence! We also want to say thank you for the many helping hands who have put in hours working on finishing fencing, painting, sorting our tool room and cleaning tack! This ministry is one that truly shines through all of the in between moments, reaching people through the work, the horses, and the community we welcome here!

Warm Beach Horsemanship was delighted to host a Working Equitation clinic with Holly Haeger last weekend!
Participants were briefed on the phases and rules of Working Equitation, took a course walk, and explored many elements of the Ease of Handling (EOH) phase in mounted lessons.
The Warm Beach Horsemanship team are excited to learn about this sport, as it is both welcoming and beneficial to riders of all seats, disciplines, and experience levels. Participating in Working Equitation also serves as a wonderful cross training tool for those engaged in other disciplines.

=• Quiz Rally Study Group •=
Quiz Rally is such a stellar opportunity for pony clubbers to spend time studying and learning their horse management material, which makes up a significant piece of their rating advancement. We see Quiz Rally as greatly beneficial to those with goals of rallying in future or rating up. It provides familiarity with the material as well as the rules and environment of rallies, while eliminating the pressure of riding right away.

Warm Beach Pony Club is proud to see so many of its members dedicating time to their study and enjoying this season of learning and fun!

“Cheering You on” is a real theme at the barn. We cheer each other on as we grow through difficult challenges, try new things and hard things. We cheer each other on as we face big things in life outside the barn, and cheer each other on through lessons, clinics and horse shows.
We cheer for our own team, and for your team, because that is at the heart of sportsmanship.
We cheer on our horses when they get it right, because they want to learn and please and partner with us; and they too need encouragement.

May we always lift each other up
in spirit, in diligence, and in prayer.
