More about this center
About the Program
According to its website, Crane's Run teaches students about a horse's mind and body and works on building the bond between horse and person, following natural horsemanship principles. The farm borders Crane's Run, a stream in Juniata County, and lessons can include rides on the farm's trails.
The instructor page says the instructor is training with PATH Intl. toward certification as a therapeutic riding instructor, and has learned to assess each student's needs, set goals and adjust lesson plans.
Horse Training
Seneca P. Schubert is listed as the sole member of the company. Horse training follows Clinton Anderson's Down Under Horsemanship Method, and the trainer has ridden in one of his clinics at his Texas ranch.
The website lists a free initial consultation at the horse's current barn within 20 miles, with a travel fee of $1.00 per mile round trip beyond that. Board and training fees depend on how long a horse needs.
Getting Started
Therapeutic riding students are asked to consult their medical practitioner about horseback riding and send Crane's Run a written copy of the practitioner's specific guidelines and limitations two weeks before scheduling lessons.
Every participant signs a liability waiver, and parents sign for anyone under 18. Riders wear a helmet (the farm has helmets, or riders can bring their own), long pants and closed-toe boots with a heel and nonslip sole. Sneakers and sandals are not allowed. Student riders work in the ring at a walk to show basic control before doing more.
Location
Crane's Run Equitation is at 1080 Dimmsville Road, Millerstown, PA 17062. There is no indoor arena, so lessons depend on the weather and may be moved or postponed in high heat.
