Saddle Up’s From the Ground Up program is an experiential learning approach centered around building a working relationship with a horse. The learning activities will concentrate on problem-solving, decision-making, critical thinking, creativity, communication, teamwork, and confidence building using the barn and farm as a hands-on dynamic learning environment.  For mounted horsemanship skills, please see our Adaptive Riding program. The group is led by a PATH International Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning and supported by educators and volunteers as needed. The program time can be adjusted to meet the needs of the group. From the Ground Up may also work with groups off-site depending on the availability of staff, horses, and volunteers.
