Mini-Visitation Program
Cody and Maverick are our Delta certified miniatures. Cody visits a special education classroom at Central Intermediate School. Cody goes to school each week and visits the students. The students learn about grooming, feeding, cleanup, taking turns, following directions, respect and gentle voices. They are also learning about horse breeds and parts of a horse. This program is educational so we learn math, sequencing, matching and reading. Cody and Maverick can also visit residential facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, group homes and other schools. For more information contact us.
