A Word From Lucinda

I am a Certified Equine Guided Educator and Instructor.  I lead each camp because I LOVE the bonding that happens with youth and horses! I am assisted by competent and compassionate staff. I am also a Mom of a teenage boy and have completed the Boy Scouts of America Youth Protection Training and am recognized as a Horsemanship Merit Badge Counselor.

What Participants Have said

“Thank you for offering such a great leadership program. My daughter’s confidence has increased and she has identified her strengths as a leader – and recognized areas she can improve. All this presented in a positive way, with no judgement. Thanks for the positive program you have developed and for presenting in such a confident, loving way.”
