ADHD/ADD & Therapeutic Program

ADHD/ADD Therapy Horse Camp:

Self-Control & Daily Living with ADHD/ADD

This incredible program is part of the Tennessee Guest Ranch Equine Therapeutic Program where Horses are used as an aid & tool to help ADHD/ADD children focus on their Self-Control & Daily Living with ADHD/ADD. Only eight students are accepted per camp to this one week resident camp program. The program is designed to teach the ADHD/ADD diagnosed child how to take control of his ADHD/ADD condition instead of his ADHD/ADD condition controlling him.

This special therapy camp operates similar to our National Horse Camp program but has completely different goals--each camper will have a list of 'self--control' and daily living with ADHD/ADD goals established with his camp director by the end of the first day. His/her objective is to understand and meet these goals by the end of the week through the training he/she will be receiving with his/her horse and the variety of horse related activities throughout the program. Classroom skills are put to work in the on-site science lab during Equine Research Study, complete with microscopes and other lab equipment. In addition to the all day horse activities used to accomplish our goals, boys also take part daily in Southern Gentleman Etiquette Training, Relating with Others Course, and more.

Whether cooling off in the pool, participating in daily bible, working on their goals, or learning about diet and food choices as related to ADHD/ADD, students are constantly developing their new found self control and daily living skills.

Each Student is taught that their FINAL GOAL is to take their newly found self-control, concentration & focus skills into their daily living at home and at school. This goal of course can not be accomplished without parental guidance Due to this goal, parents are required to attend a one hour seminar with their child at the end of the week at camp check-out. Parents will learn how to help their child maintain and continue to develop his newly found ADHD/ADD Self-Control & Daily Living Skills, in order to use the least amount of prescription medicine possible and in many cases becoming prescription free!

Riding Lessons

Our weekly riding lesson program, for ages 4 thru adults, is sure to educate those avid horse enthusiasts about the wide world of horses! Students are trained 'from the ground up' here at the Sequatchie Valley B&B Guest Ranch.

Every rider learns how to care for his or her lesson horse or show pony just as if it were there very own! Safety, grooming, parts of the horse, tacking up, equipment care...are all part of the program. Younger students starting at age 4 are taught in private lessons, while older children and adults typically start in small group lessons.

Students have the opportunity to learn Hunters, Jumpers, Dressage, and/or the Western disciplines of riding. Beginner students need to allow approximately 1 hr for their lesson time, which includes grooming, tacking, and riding. Once students are able to completely groom and tack up unassisted, they will graduate to a solid 45 minutes of mounted riding time. At this point, students will need to plan to be at the B&B Ranch for at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours in order to properly groom & tack up their lesson horse in preparation for riding and in order to put their lesson horse away properly after riding.

Parents can drop children for their lesson or bring a lawn chair (and a book to read) and stay and watch from the back deck of the ranch house!
