A virtual field trip that brings the ranch to your classroom.
Ivey Ranch’s H.A.V.E. A Horse program is an interactive virtual field trip for students of all ages. We introduce our horses, share how they serve the community, and open the door to volunteering opportunities for students and their families. OUSD-approved and aligned with Common Core Standards.
What We Cover
Every H.A.V.E. A Horse presentation introduces students to the world of horses and the people who care for them.
Meet the Horses
Students are introduced to our therapy herd — who they are, what they do, and how they help people in our community every day.
How Horses Help
We share how horses provide care and connection to people with and without special needs, and why that work matters.
Get Involved
Students and families learn about volunteer opportunities at the ranch — open to those nine years old and older.
How It Works
We arrange the H.A.V.E. A Horse field trip by logging on to your established distance learning platform, or by providing an invitation to a Zoom meeting for your participants.
During the presentation we introduce our horses, explain the services they provide to the community, and share the many ways your students and their families can get involved. Our field trip aligns with Common Core Standards and supports classroom studies in science, language arts, social studies, and technology.
