What’s Missing for Our Girls?
Today’s girls—especially in urban and suburban communities—deserve more than just textbooks and screens. They need experiences that move them, challenge them, and connect them to nature, each other, and themselves.
But here’s what’s often missing:
- Awareness: Most girls have never had access to horses or equine education.
- Accessibility: Culturally relevant, small-group riding programs are nearly impossible to find in the DC/MD/VA area.
- Affordability: Traditional riding schools are expensive and often exclusive.
- Leadership Opportunities: Few hands-on programs are designed specifically to grow life skills in and out of the saddle.
Our Solution: Two Empowering Pathways
6-Week Horsemanship Certificate
For girls who want to build leadership, confidence, and equine skills from the ground up.
- Ground-based horsemanship
- Leadership through Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL)
- Equine safety, communication & trust
- Stable management & teamwork
- Certificate of completion
16-Week Riding Program
For girls ready to take the reins—literally.
- Horsemanship training + certificate
- Introduction to English & Western disciplines
- Trail riding + group riding etiquette
- Weekly mounted riding lessons (English or Western)
- Small, supportive cohorts
- Character-building discussions + goal setting
- Culminates in a Youth Showcase or Gymkhana event
