What is P’tit Trot?
P'tit Trot is an educational program for children aged 5 and over who are fascinated with horses and
ponies and wish to take care of them and learn the basics of English, Western or outdoor riding.
The P'tit Trot materials are fully illustrated with colorful drawings and humorous notes that help the
child discover the ABCs of horse behavior, care, terms, and the basics of riding in a safe
environment.
Each P’tit Trot program package includes the following:
• Manual
• Certificate of achievement for each level (bronze, silver, gold and platinum)
