To set up a typical session, parents, and facilitators meet to review their current academic strengths in informal on-site assessments. Facilitators then create highly motivating learning experiences designed to address a specific skill. Areas of interest are explored to help develop a theme for the sessions.

As students begin the sessions, they choose their 4-legged Learning Partner. Using props to identify and challenge their obstacles to learning, their equine learning partners support them, and students can break through the social and emotional issues that block their progress. The Learning Partner helps students develop new learning patterns.
