I offer customized tutoring sessions to K-12 students during the academic year. I design learning experiences based on each student’s needs.
A tutoring lesson will consist of a 30-45 min session with my horses. The session will focus on the key subject area selected by the student – and will include learning based on Texas state standards for the student’s grade level in that subject.
Each tutoring lesson will include follow-up homework exercises (to be done at home, without a horse) and an outline for the next lesson (should the student sign up for an additional lesson).
There is no horseback riding in the tutoring sessions. Students will be able to handle and interact with a gentle horse – and will watch demonstrations with horses in training. No horse experience is required.
The Horse Wise® curriculum has been developed in conjunction with Baylor University research standards on informal learning techniques for K-12 students.
Subjects
Subjects include science (biology, chemistry, physics, environmental studies), mathematics (special emphasis on basic math skills, fractions, geometry, algebra and how to not panic at math word problems), and English language arts.
Lynn and the horses will bring these subjects to life in a way that is impossible to replicate in the classroom – while also maintaining Texas state learning standards in each study area.
In addition to specific classroom subjects, students will learn about horse stewardship, compassion for rescue animals and farm/environmental management.

Location
Our facility is located in Driftwood, TX. It is a private farm, with a quiet, peaceful environment for learning.
Safety requirements
For safety, we ask that all students wear shoes that are covered (no sandals or flip-flops) and that can handle getting dusty or dirty (horse farms are full of dust, dirt and horse manure). Students’ drivers must be available during the lesson (we don’t allow students to be dropped off alone). The tutoring lesson paperwork (releases, list of farm rules, etc.) must be signed and returned to Horse Wise prior to the field trip date.
