Horses are a key part of the team.

To evade predators, horses have evolved to be extremely sensitive to their environment. They instinctively analyze and react to our body language and other nonverbal cues. As a result, we are able to gain insight into our own nonverbal communication and behavior patterns

Alliances and Supporters:

Youth will participate in a classroom setting, equine activity and field trips.
