Who's Your Herd? - A leadership program for teens aged 13-19
5 session formal program. This program involves equine guided coaching and some riding. Students learn about herd dynamics, using their energy to work with the horses and how everything relates to their world. When the students finish the program they are more confident and able to tap into their leadership abilities. There is a small charge for this program to cover costs but we offer assistance to write a grant if an organization wants this program for their youth group.

Hacienda La Paz
Out at the Ranch
Community Sundays - Open farm days
These are open to the public for anyone to come out and learn about the horses. People get an opportunity to groom the horses, learn to put on halters, clean feet, lead horses etc. If we have enough volunteers to cover we allow riding. Often it is just a pony type ride but occasionally we will teach the basics and let them ride supervised. Additionally we may take people out into the pasture to teach about herd dynamics and allow them greet the horses we do not use for riding. Generally there is a potluck type meal.
