# # all Parents of Teens! Is your teen looking for a place where they can learn how to be the best version of themselves, both on and off the back of a horse?

Sometimes, the best life lessons don’t happen in the classroom-they happen outside in nature and in hand with horses. Our Equine Assisted Skills for Youth Program invites youth ages 12-18 to partner with horses to build the skills that matter most.
What your teen will gain:

Committment: Learning how to make a committment, and keep one.

Confidence: Learning how to be in partnership with a 1000 pound prey animal.

Communication: Learning how to effectively communicate with horses and humans.

Connection: Stepping away from screen time and into horse time.

Resilience: Solving real-world challenges in a judgment-free environment.

“Horses don’t care about your grades or your social media following. They care about how you make them feel in the moment. “

Program Details:
Who: Youth ages 12-18
When: March-October
Where: Howarth Park & The Pony Express Ranch
Enrollment: Now open for Spring/Summer/Fall Session
