Guide Horse Appearances for Elementary Schools

Janet Burleson, acknowledged as one of the world's pioneering horse trainers, provides free presentations for elementary schools. Whenever feasible, a working Guide Horse team can attend these free appearances and share their experiences and demonstrate a Guide Horse and allow you to meet one -in-person.

This brief 30-minute overview of Guide Horses is especially tailored to the elementary level and is ideal for Elementary school assemblies and schools for blind children. Time permitting, children get a chance to test-drive a fully-trained Guide Horse.

Please note that the Guide Horse Foundation is a 501(c) charity with a primary goal of working with the visually disabled. Free horse training seminar availability is subject to funding availability, scope of media exposure and personal tine constraints.

We receive thousands of appearance requests each year and it is impossible to accommodate every request for a horse training seminar. If your schedule is flexible, we can place your organization on a wait list and perform your Guide Horse seminar when we are in your area.
