Horse Warriors™
Mission Statement: To create a safer and more sane world through empowering young people, individuals, and families to live and act with kindness, compassion and wisdom in all facets of life.
Description:
Horse Warriors™ is an Equine Facilitated Mental Health and Learning program designed to empower youth, families and women. Begun in 1998, it has served over 150 individual students, the majority of whom stay in the program 5-7 years. Our clientele is traditionally described as “at-risk,” and are referred to us by social service agencies, mental health professionals, school counselors, teachers, pastors, juvenile advocates and pediatricians. Program goals include helping students learn to make healthy, life-affirming choices, become employable, graduate from high school and preferably enter college or trade school. Students are taught to respect themselves and others, value life itself and quality of life in all living things, live with compassion, and give back to their communities.
