This four-week equine-assisted program designed exclusively for girls empowering them to recognize how their circle of friends shapes their confidence, decision-making, and self-worth.

Blaze and Forest Fire written by C.W. Anderson is an old classic filled with rich vocabulary with a setting in a different country and in a different time period (1936).
This book club goes beyond reading and answering standard “comprehension" and “vocabulary" questions. Your child will engage in critical thinking skills as they compare and contrast 1936 to 2025. A variety of activities and hands-on horse time are included. Book will be provided on first day.
This innovative leadership program challenges youth to redefine what it means to lead—not through commands or control, but through connection, self-awareness, and servant leadership. Participants will step into leadership roles that focus on guiding through influence rather than authority, learning how to listen, collaborate, and care for their team before giving direction.
By partnering with a horse, your child will improve both verbal and non-verbal communication, witnessing firsthand the importance of giving and receiving directions effectively.
