A.G.:
So Horse Boy and the movement method have been introduced to me in the last year or so. I’ve been very encouraged by the concept of incorporating outdoors and fun into learning.

Little Explorers Activity Club - Physics Playdates - Market Harborough, UK
I just wanted to say thank you so much to Miriam and you guys for letting us take part in the play-date at the beginning of the week. Miriam was absolutely fantastic with Eddie and he had a wonderful time learning about concepts in physics without even realizing it - in fact whilst having a lot of fun!

We feel very privileged to be part of such a wonderful opportunity for Violet. A huge thank you to you and Miriam for another wonderful science play date today. Violet loved it and Miriam had created so many wonderful opportunities for learning, we covered so much! I have also been inspired to try more practical and hands on ideas at home. Violet will miss Miriam! She spent the whole journey home saying she wished Miriam didn't have to go back to Germany and asking when we'll see her again! They formed a really lovely connection.
It couldn't have come at a better time for us, after such a depressing time with school, it has been wonderful for her to see that learning can be fun :) we look forward to seeing you all again soon xx
Movement Method parent workshop - Haley, Austin TX
I wanted to mention that I appreciated you offering the parent/teacher training class last Saturday. I think the biggest takeaway for me was at the heart of the Horse Boy Foundation, which is to provide an environment without pressure. I read about this in your parent handbook and saw your volunteers incorporating this practice during the horse boy play dates, but I think it helped to hear more about the background behind this practice, more examples, and the benefits your organization has witnessed. I think this has already helped me internalize the practice more completely during Sunday's play date and during play and various teaching moments throughout the last few days. By removing the pressure (and certain expectations) from the interactions, I feel certain pressures within myself were relinquished. The results have been very positive.
