Our Circle C Equestrian Center is hosting a Junior RIIT event on Saturday, September 19 for Girl Scout Juniors who are curious about becoming future Riding Instructors-in-Training (RIITs). Begin building leadership skills through horsemanship and take a hands-on learning approach as we discover the fundamentals of grooming and safely leading horses.

Circle C is also forming an Adaptive Equestrian Show Team for this fall! This four-part series is intentionally designed for Girl Scout Brownie and Juniors who have a diagnosed developmental, learning, sensory or physical difference and who benefit from a supported, adaptive approach to instruction. Our goal is to create a positive, team-oriented environment where every rider feels successful, included and celebrated. No previous horse experience is necessary. Each session will include foundations of safe horse handling and care, riding instruction tailored to each rider’s strengths and learning style, introduction to horse show skills, including patterns, presentation and ring etiquette and team-based activities that foster cooperation, confidence and connection. The program will conclude with a fun and supportive in-house horse show where riders can demonstrate what they’ve learned in a low-pressure setting.

We’ll start the day with important council and department updates to keep you in the know, then dive into fun and educational breakout sessions where you can choose the topics that matter most to you. Whether you’re looking for fresh ideas, practical tools or new inspiration, there’s something for everyone.
