P’tit Trot

P’tit Trot is a learning program designed for children 5 years and over who love horses and ponies and who want to take care of them while learning about them in the English or Western style.

The P’tit Trot book is very in-depth and well-illustrated, yet easy to follow and understand for young minds or those learning English. The coloured drawings and pictures combined with the educational notes help children to discover the ABC’s of the behaviour of the horses, the care they require, the attitude to have around them, as well as the basics of horseback riding in a safe environment.

Parents and Coaches:
Parents and coaches are encouraged to use this colorful and educational program, P’tit Trot can be used for day camps, beginner lesson programs, or just as a fun addition to any learning environment.

The P’tit Trot program is an introduction to the EC Learn to Ride Program in both English and Western riding. The coach helps the child learn all of the introductory lessons presented in each chapter of the book. The coach can then present the child with a certificate for each level they have reached: bronze, silver, gold, platinum.

KidSport

KidSport PEI believes all Island children should have the opportunity to experience the positive benefits that sport offers. Organized sport teaches children important life skills, such as leadership, commitment, teamwork and self-confidence. Staying physically active is important for everyone, and playing sports helps develop healthy lifestyles for children across Prince Edward Island. KidSport PEI helps remove the financial barriers that limit some children from participating in sport in PEI.

Procedure:

1. Parent/Guardian applies to KidSport on behalf of the child,
2. KidSport approves the child for funding and contacts the Parent/Guardian,
3. Parent/Guardian contacts the coach or stable, letting them know that they are approved for lessons,
4. Coach contacts IHC office staff and informs them of the approval. Office staff must receive:
   – the child’s first and last name, as well as the dollar amount approved
   – a scan or picture of a completed membership form (available online) of the child for staff to input into the system
5. Office staff confirms with KidSport, membership is processed and remaining funding is sent to the Coach.

• Since 1998, Bell-Aliant has been the corporate partner of KidSport PEI. By financially supporting the administrative functions of our program, we can ensure 100% of all funds raised go to the children.
• There are over 40 provincial sport organizations in PEI that children can choose to participate in, using the KidSport program.
• The Province of Prince Edward Island provides in-kind support to the program.
