Have you ever wondered what animals do all day? What animals are sharing our outdoor space that we might never see? There are clues all around us if you know what to look for. Join us as we discover the clues left for us by the animals at the Zoo!
Horse Hands
Horse Hands at the Phoenix Zoo is a unique program, including equine caregiving and horseback riding lessons, led by Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA)-accredited instructors.
Each Horse Hands program is where CHA equine handlers take students, based on their experience level, through the steps of meeting a variety of horse breeds, recognizing and taking care of their needs, bonding with them and learning to ride them safely.
