After the morning ride, from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM, a lunch and horse care session takes place. Participants have the chance to feed and groom their horses while learning about the specific needs of animals during colder months. Instructors discuss seasonal care routines, including feeding, coat maintenance, and adjusting exercise schedules to ensure the health and comfort of horses during winter.

The afternoon program, from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM, includes interactive trail challenges and riding exercises. Riders can practice obstacle navigation, balance exercises, and teamwork activities designed to enhance coordination, riding skills, and communication with their horses. These exercises are both educational and enjoyable, fostering engagement and skill development in a supportive environment.

The day concludes with a community reflection session from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM. Participants share experiences, insights, and favorite moments of the day, while instructors provide feedback and suggestions for continued practice.
