We exist to provide a hands-on, experience-based learning environment for people in difficult situations, including children, families, and military personnel. We believe that the powerful connection between people and horses is transformational. Through horsemanship, we develop character, learn ethics and responsibility, grow physically and emotionally, and discover ourselves. Our own lives improve as we improve those of our horses.
We are committed to children facing challenges at school and at home, to families struggling with the unique demands of military life, and to service members in need of support.
In particular, we know that all children have the potential to become healthy, active, and productive young adults, and our horses help us get through to those who are otherwise hard to reach.
We house a diverse group of donated horses in our program that are safe for interaction with children. We provide a caring, happy home for horses whose show careers are over, but who have lots of life left in them.
We provide Equine Assisted Learning (EAL), which is an experiential, social-emotional learning program that incorporates horses and engages people by offering them the opportunity to fully participate in skill development. In our curriculum-based, non-riding equine program, participates can learn character building skills and life skills that help to promote positive behaviors and foster healthy person-to-person contact. Our sessions consist of tailored, unmounted activities with horses to help promote character skills such as respect, leadership, responsibility, trust, mindfulness, communication, problem solving, cooperation, decision making, time management, etc.
In our Working Student Program, we look for applicants who may be at risk and love horses, and are driven to learn about riding and caring for them. We pair students with their own horse and teach them all aspects of horsemanship. We instruct, monitor, and supervise our students closely. They are responsible for their horses, including grooming and exercising, cleaning stalls and tack, barn management, and limited aspects of supervised veterinary care. Our Working Student Program provides a safe space for our students to learn, develop, and grow. Key outcomes include relationship-building skills, personal responsibility, self-confidence, and healthy stress relief.
