Girl Scouts of
Gulfcoast Florida is thrilled to share an enriching opportunity to
engage in a hands-on experience focused on animal care. This event is
designed not only to enhance your understanding of horse anatomy but
also to instill a sense of responsibility and compassion toward all
animals.
During this special day, girls will learn about
horse anatomy while grooming our beautiful horses. They will have the
opportunity to clean a horse stall, which emphasizes the importance of
properly caring for these magnificent creatures. Additionally, the
girls will experience the thrill of riding horses. Whether they
choose to be led by a handler or ride independently, they can do so at
their own comfort level, fostering confidence and skill
development.
Alongside the horse activities, girls will
have the chance to interact with our friendly Nigerian Dwarf goats and
chickens, learning how to handle and feed them. This diverse
experience is designed to create lasting memories while educating them
about animal care.
Please note that closed-toed shoes are
required (preferably ones that can get dirty) and you are encouraged
to wear a hat, sunglasses, and comfortable clothing like biker shorts,
capris, leggings, jeans, or pants to prevent chafing from the saddle.
Bring a reusable water bottle to use throughout the day.
A fun horseback riding patch will be included.
A minimum of 12 participants is required to attend this program.
This will be a drop-off event. We are looking for 6 volunteers to help-if you're interested in volunteering, please contact Denise at denisev@gsgcf.org.
