Taking the Reins

Nonprofit equestrian program for at-risk girls set on an urban farm with horses, ducks, chickens, bunnies, and pigs. Participants typically commit for multiple years, developing riding skills and lasting friendships.
This place is asome I have only been here for one year and I went bear back riding riding the horse without a Seattle
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with girls aged 10 and up who are ready for a serious, long-term commitment rather than a casual lesson. The program's depth â years of riding, farm chores, and community bonds â produces outcomes that single-session venues cannot match. Families who volunteer through partner groups can also join clean-up and garden days.

âThis is an amazing organization I was grateful to learn about through a volunteer group I am a part of called Gay4Good. I helped clean out the stables and dig some dead plants from a garden area. I love the mission of the organization and the women that run it. We need more things like this in our community.â
