CHANGING LEADS

 

The Changing Leads program is designed to help youth at-risk find friendship, develop trust and form a deep connection through partnering with a horse. The program focuses on teaching transferable skills to enhance personal, school, family, and community relationships through Equine-Assisted Learning.

 

Our Changing Leads classes typically take place in a group setting, and are taught by a PATH Intl. Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor. We offer Changing Leads classes to individuals as well as schools and other organizations.
