HOMESCHOOL ENRICHMENT

This program introduces homeschooled children to basic horsemanship and farm animal care. Participants learn important qualities, such as patience and compassion. Our goal is for the students to leave this program with a newfound knowledge of horse and animal care, as well as an appreciation for hard work, for animals, and for themselves.

Camille Creek partnership program

Horses Empowering Youth!
HEY is a new program at SpiritHorse. In this program we partner with Camille Creek Community School in Napa. The Juvenile Court and Community School programs serve the educational needs of students who are under the protection of authority of the juvenile court or those who are referred from school districts due to truancy, behavioral issues, or expulsion. The school's mission is to empower our county's most disenfranchised youth toward a productive future through restorative relationships, targeted instructions, and inspiring opportunities for growth. In HEY, we align our empowering missions together for the sole purpose of investing into these youth. While the curriculum is important, perhaps the most important aspect of HEY! is the way it nurtures strong resilient young people. Training and relating to horses on a regular basis develop compassion, problem-solving, and communication skills, while building leadership skills and self-confidence. As part of the program, different guest speakers are brought in to teach and even inspire the students with different career paths in horses, some involving college, trade school, or no further education at all but instead only grit and determination. |

Junior Intern Program

Teens start at age 12 in our Junior Intern Program. They get horses ready for each class by grooming, tacking, leading and lounging. Interns help with lessons by leading horses, teaching things they have learned to new students under the supervision of a Certified Instructor.
Interns help with all aspects of horse care. (Cleaning & Watering) Interns help with office paper work also. Our Interns learn life long skills with horses, business, teamwork and giving back to the community. Our Amazing Interns are an Incredible Life Line to running SpiritHorse. |
