Lesson Program
In my program we focus the teaching on well rounded horsemanship. All potential Instructors are CHA (Certified Horsemanship Association) Certified and all of our youth programs center around the levels of that program. The levels are constructed around care, handling, knowledge and riding. While learning through the levels, students are taught the value of independence, responsibility, and safety, in a fun and safe environment. They learn self control, self confidence, respect and skills they can take into any aspect of their lives, including school and grades. At VAF we encourage friendships and safe environments where everyone can be themselves, and feel accepted for who they are, and who they want to be. Our goal is to help every student develop life long relationships while they learn.
As the head Instructor, I (Jaci) have my Level 4 English and Level 4 Western (also called the Master Level) with CHA. I obtained my levels over the course of two evaluation clinics in Oregon in 2014 and Texas in 2018. In 2023 I returned for a third clinic, to secure my Adaptive Riding certification (Riders with Disabilities) in Washington and am certified to teach both Physical and Cognitive Disabilities. At this time our facility is set up to teach mild Physical Disabilities and Mild to Moderate Cognitive Disabilities.
Please print, fill out and bring a Liability form with you. Helmets are required on ALL participants 17 & Under. If you are 18 and Over, you are not required, but are highly recommended to wear a helmet. If you choose not to, I will need a Helmet Release Waiver on file.
