My daughter has been going to this camp for two weeks now and I have never seen her so happy in any other group sitting. She absolutely loves it. I love the leadership they teach them and the kids really learn valuable information about horses, gardening, and sustainability.

Just read the article in Western Horseman about Compton Jr Equestrians. If there had been programs like this around me when I was younger, I think it would have kept me out of a lot of trouble. Horses have such an amazing power to teach and give people a sense of purpose. I was lucky enough to make it through my troubles and eventually find this out but to stop the trouble before it starts is really how you change lives. I wish this program nothing but success. Nice work you guys!!
