When participants are ready, those foundational skills can carry into hands-on experiences with LUCK's horses.
Horses offer something difficult to recreate in a classroom or traditional program: the opportunity to build a relationship with a powerful, responsive animal. Through trauma-informed, equine-assisted experiences, young people learn to ride, handle, communicate with, and care for horses while developing physical fitness, confidence, emotional awareness, resilience, and social-emotional adaptability. Participants progress at their own pace—from approaching and grooming a horse to groundwork, independent handling, and riding.
