Life Skills Programs


Our programs with our teachers, the horses, can positively impact anyone in any situation! Our business was inspired by a lifelong passion - a love of horses and a love of helping people. To be able to marry the two in such a unique, introspective and transformative way, and the ability to offer it to our community, is truly magical. (No riding involved!)

How This Works

We believe you have the power to learn, the power to grow, and the power to change.

Through our skills development programs, we offer the opportunity to experience the powerful and life-changing moment of self-discovery, connection with others and development of essential life skills; working with horses as the teachers.

Why Do We Work With Horses?

Some of the joys associated with working around horses are – they don’t judge but they constantly assess. Their feedback is honest and instant. Learning to listen to what horses have to say is powerful and can spur the answer to change. By including horses in our specially designed educational exercises, the rate to self-discovery is multiplied!

How Does This Process Work?

Horses consistently react to stimulus provided by participants. Horses can magnify an individual’s problem immediately and provide a skilled facilitator with an opportunity to identify an individual’s character and behavior. Horses don’t over think a participant’s motive, but horses do challenge their behavior and leadership.

What Is Equine Assisted Learning?

Equine Assisted Learning is an approach to human development that encourages individual and team growth. Participants engage in objectively driven exercises while working with horses without venturing into Equine Therapy. These skill building programs have proven to be a powerful, positive educational program for participants - it's life-changing!

"A-ha" Moments From Our Clients

“(My horse taught me) to take time to observe what's going on around me. To notice others ideas on how to overcome an obstacle and that there are many ways to get over any obstacle. Overall, communication was key to our team's success and it showed with how Jet responded to each of us and us as a team. And most definitely confidence in myself.”
