The riding program offers students a chance to develop basic riding skills through a series of drills and games all run under the watchful eye of riding instructor Wright Bruised Head. Riding teacher Wright Bruised Head looks on as his students warm up their horses before the lesson begins. But in addition to having fun and learning how to ride, Bruised Head says students are taught important life lessons in the program. "They learn a lot about responsibility and they own up to making their own mistakes a lot easier," Bruised Head said. Dodginghorse says her daughter is using tools learned at the riding program to be more disciplined at home and to deal with her anxiety.
