Past Youth Activities
We offer many youth programs with our Equine
Facilitated Character Education program for public schools for the past four
years being our primary youth focus. If you're interested in learning more
about this program please contact us but in the meanwhile here are a few
highlights from other youth events we've joined.
Black Stallion Literacy Program 2008
We had a good fun this year at BSLP with
the horses and kids enjoying each other. Special thanks to Dr. Lucas for
joining us with cadaver parts to give an extra element of fun to the day for
these young people learning about horses and encouraging them to read all at the
same time!

So Long to Summerfest 2007 - Gilbert, AZ
This amazing event was a blast for all of us.
Sundance and Solstice got into the festivities with their finger paint
swimsuits, hats, and glasses...these horses were troopers with over 6,000 people
coming to meet them and the night ending with fireworks...we couldn't have been
more proud of our most seasoned event horses giving lots of kids their first
chance to meet a real horse!

City of Peoria Easter Egg Hunt 2007 - Peoria, AZ
The world's biggest bunny rabbits came out for this
event....Solstice and Sundance were again good sports about getting into the
festivities. There were 8,000 people in attendance and lots of kids had
fun decorating horseshoes. Next year we'll get a pro making our horsie
bunny suits!
December 2004 Youth Volunteer Day
We had a great time during our
Youth Volunteer Day this past December. The day's activities
included grooming the rescues and decorating horse shoes that we
brought to the John C. Lincoln Hospital Pediatric Intensive Care
Unit for the kids who had to be in the hospital for the holidays.
We had some great horse shoes that displayed the creative talents of
our volunteers! The day was topped off by some face painting
provided by Nichole Gallagher, and pony rides for all! Check
out the photos of the day.

May 2004 Youth Volunteer
Day
A day at the barn allowed the kids to groom the horses and yes, they
even cleaned stalls and water buckets! That evening one of the
kids came along with us while we helped to transport a 19-hand draft
horse to the emergency clinic for colic. Our next Youth
Volunteer Day is December 19th.
