What is EmpowerED Youth?
EmpowerED Youth is a multi-week program that partners with local schools to provide students with an alternative learning experience through equine-assisted therapeutic activities.
Each week, students visit Stockhands to work alongside their assigned equine partner in a customized program tailored to their school’s needs. From grooming and leading horses to learning about equine health and horsemanship, students develop valuable life skills while building trust, confidence, empathy, and communication.
At Stockhands, learning goes beyond the classroom. Through the unique partnership between students and horses, we create opportunities for personal growth, meaningful connections, and lessons that last a lifetime.
