 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 the English language. 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.
