It's All about Horsemanship
At Cash Lovell Stables & Riding Academy, we stress to young horse lovers that there is much more to horsemanship than riding. Through our Little Bits program, kids study horses in a fun atmosphere. They'll learn about:
- tacking up a horse
- caring and feeding for horses
- horse equipment
- anatomy of a horse
There is no charge to be involved in the Little Bits. Our monthly meeting are open to all of our riders and parents have a night off. We host barn scavenger hunts, fun races and learn about barn safety -- our top priority. In 2009, some of our meetings have had up to 50 children. And we've had a blast!
More than $10,000 Given to Charity Each Year
Each year, the Little Bits raises more than $10,000 for horse-related charities. The Little Bits volunteer for several charitable horse-related organizations and give their time. They are regular donors to the N.C. Equine Rescue League and Riverwood Therapeutic Riding School. The Little Bits have received national honors for their hard work with horses and horse-related causes. In 2002 and 2004, the American Saddlebred Horse Association named Lovell’s Little Bits the Best Youth Club in the country. In 2003, the same organization recognized the Little Bits for their extraordinary efforts in promoting horseback riding as a sport. And in more recent years, the group has been recognized as the top youth club in the country for its fundraising work.
Barn Helpers
Many of our Little Bits also work as barn helpers in the afternoons and during their school holidays and summers. Barn helpers can earn rewards to use towards riding lessons.
