Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Life has never been harder on young women. They face constant pressures to live up to impossible expectations, which often leads to low self-worth, anxiety, depression, self-harm, eating disorders, and trauma. As well, one of the most heartbreaking challenges in the U.S. is the rising suicide rate. From 2007 to 2015, the suicide rate for girls ages 15 - 19 doubled, reaching a 40-year high (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Girl's Experience
Our Girl's Experience is designed to build hope, confidence, and resilience in young women ages 12 - 21. The program is 14 weeks long and has three components: 1) Learning to ride and care for horses, 2) Developing life skills through The 7 Habits, and 3) Providing volunteer service at the barn.
Women's Experience
Our Women's Experience is designed to build hope, confidence, and resilience in women ages 22 and up. The program is 7 weeks long and has three components: 1) Learning to ride and care for horses, 2) Developing life skills through The 7 Habits, and 3) Providing volunteer service at the barn.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Long-Term Vision:
We believe we are on the pathway to building one of the most influential charities in the world. Our end in mind is to have 1,000 locations worldwide with 100 girls going through the program at each location annually. That means impacting 100,000 girls every year.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
To expand to additional locations, we identify existing equestrian facilities that believe in this cause to help young women, and we license them in our program curriculum.
To measure our program impact on participants, we use the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale, which is a validated and widely-published assessment developed by researchers at Duke University.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Bridle Up Hope is led by a competent and passionate Board of Directors (7 members), Board of Advisors (40 members), and an Administrative Team. Together, we have expertise in horse training, business and marketing, social impact, leadership training, psychology, fundraising, and research.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Since 2013, we have had over 2,000 girls and women graduate from our program. Over 90% of them consider it "life-changing."
We have now expanded to 10 current locations:
- Alpine, Utah
- St. George, Utah
- Mapleton, Utah
- Davis County, Utah
- Gelderland, Netherlands
- Dallas, Texas
- Tallin, Estonia
- Ukraine
- San Jose, California
- Pocatello, Idaho
