For the”Horse Fan” Badge, Girl Scouts are to choose 6 of the 10 listed Activities in their Badge Book. Many of the Activities are research projects that the girls are to look up and find out about themselves. The intent of this badge is for the girls to spend time researching these subjects. Therefore, in the spirit of this intent, Trinity Stable will provide some guidance but leave some portions for the individual and troop work.  We will also give some ideas on some of the other information they are to collect for other Activity choices.

TRINITY STABLE RIDING ADD-ONS TO HORSE FAN BADGE:
There are no required Horseback Riding Activities for the Horse Fan Badge. However, if your troop would like to add in a Ride, we can offer Riding at a onetime special price.
Our “Normal” price for Group Lessons is $35 per 1 hour lesson per person. For our Scout Troops, we offer a special 1 hour clinic at a discount price of $50.
We will use two horses and the girls will take turns riding and watching each other in our Riding Arena. We will not go over any lesson material; however, each girl will be offered the opportunity to trot the horse if she chooses (while being led). We carefully watch balance issues and stop the trot if we see any signs of a loss of balance.
TOTAL TIME ADDED: 45 minutes
TOTAL COST ADDED: $50 per Troop
