P'Tit Trot

P’tit Trot is an exciting program for children ages five years and up, who love horses and want to learn more about the equestrian world. The P’tit Trot program is devoted solely to learning general horsemanship, allowing children to discover the pleasures of English and Western disciplines as well as an introduction to trail riding and developing proper knowledge on how to care for the horse.

The P’tit Trot book is lavishly illustrated throughout and introduces familiar characters for the children to follow and relate to. Each book is divided into four chapters – Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum with each chapter building on the previous skill set. In addition to the illustrated manual that supports practical teaching, a game book allows the child to reinforce the knowledge gained while having fun. At each level attained (bronze, silver, gold, platinum) the young rider receives a certificate of achievement.

This program offers a fun way to discover the wonderful world of horses. It contributes to acquiring various motor and technical skills and encourages children to be physically active, and gain confidence and self-esteem as they progress through the program. Additionally, this program falls into the “fundamentals” stage of the Long-Term Equestrian DevelopmentLong Term Equestrian Development model.

Parents and coaches are invited to use this entertaining and educational program, which is ideal for young horse lovers. This program can also be used to prepare and support activities offered at riding camps and/or as a preparation tool to begin the Equestrian Canada (EC) English or Western Learn to Ride levels. A parent/coach guide is available to help deliver this program.
