Last week our GROW Phase 2 students spent the morning with Equine Tutor Deb and our Equine Connect team trying something new, building confidence and learning new skills. Students spent time understanding about the horses, how to interact and communicate with them, and eventually having a ride. Prior to the session most of our students had spent no or little time around horses. It was great to see how initial nervousness turned into enjoyment and a willingness to try new things. It was an enjoyable morning. A big thank you to Maanasa and Breahn from our Equine Career Link programme for your help and encouragement. It was much appreciated. 😊

On Monday, Equine Musculoskeletal Therapist, Nicolett Geldermann, spoke to our equine students about the structure of the horses' spine, how this affects their ability to flex and bend, the effects of pressure on the spine and rib cage, and the importance of rider position and balance. This gave our students a lot to think about in regards to the impact of their own rider position and balance on a horse, and was a great introduction to a week of studying the anatomy of the horse. Thanks Nicolett for a very interesting and informative session, and great to see you back at Comcol. 😊

Comcol Equine was part of the North Canterbury Youth Futures careers expo last evening at MainPower Stadium, where our horse, kindly lent to us from Rangiora Equestrian Supplies, was a big drawcard. We had a lot of interest in and many questions asked about our Equine Connect (wellbeing) and Equine Career Link (industry skills) programmes. A big thank you to the North Canterbury Youth Futures career expo organising committee, helpers, and those who attended, for a great evening.🙂
