Key strategies

We serve vulnerable children and animals, who count on us to provide care, support, and a safe environment for growth and healing. This inspires us to prioritize  sustainability and  continuous learning.  Critical areas in need of development are identified and training goals established. 

For 2025, training will include:

              -Board of Directors: Budgeting, grant writing, socio-emotional strategies, and Horse Powered Reading certification

            -Mentors and Volunteers: Horsemanship, leadership, and CPR/first aid

 Identify  Participants

Teachers, social workers, and community members nominate children who would benefit most from the program.

Individualized plans are created for each child, addressing challenges in these  categories:

          -Confidence and Resilience

          -Self-control

          -Socio-emotional

           -Connection and Trust

           -Responsibility

This  event establishes important connections. Returning participants reunite with mentors and horses, while new participants are introduced. Families connect, and the sense of community begins. The most inspiring moment is when children meet the horses for the first time—the magic begins with that first touch.
