Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

We see an opportunity to allow people to develop skills & personal development. We hope to empower individuals to become more than they thought was possible. We develop our programs with the partnership of the horse. This brings people out into nature and allows them to have experiences outside of the box. This allows us to also assist the horse with being part of something and a productive team member. Keeping many from becoming part of the unwanted horse population.
