Hazel Creek Montessori is a large covered equestrian center with schooling horses for riding lessons.
Each student is given riding lessons as part of their outdoor education.
Riding teaches the child to activate and use various parts of the body, in new and varied ways, acquiring skills that in the course of time become an integral part of his or her life.
Riding entails active involvement and self-discipline, improves the rider's self-image, balance and spatial orientation and encourages his or her independence and decision making abilities.
