At Palomino Hope, our mentors are guided in developing both their leadership and interpersonal skills, learning how to be positive role models and supportive friends. The organization is fostering a close-knit community, with many young participants coming to view Palomino Hope as a second family. In addition to acquiring horsemanship skills, mentors are trained in the proper care and management of horses. They actively contribute to daily chores and are involved in essential activities such as accompanying horses to veterinary appointments.
The 2025 season will bring advanced training in emotional support, leadership, CPR, and first aid.
