58/ APRIL 2019 THE RIDER


Fulfilling Dreams & Enriching Lives of at-risk youth through the Power, Beauty and Magic of Horses!


For centuries, the horse has captured the


hearts and touched the souls of mankind. From the velvet soft muzzle to the strong solid hoof, horses possess a unique combination of humble strength and understated power. Horses, farm animals and the land itself are powerful catalysts for inspiration and change. Horses are extremely effective teachers; they


can teach anyone no matter what their age, back- ground, culture, abilities or limitations. Horses teach us effective communication, problem-solv- ing skills, healthy boundaries, leadership, trust, empathy, compromise and responsibility, while providing an environment that lowers stress and improves emotional health and well being. Horse Cents For Kids believes every child, regardless of


other farm animals. A day at the farm can be a powerful time for children to continue to draw from long after the day is gone. The connection with animals is personal and effective in nature, in- fluencing both feelings and emotions as well as en- hancing knowledge and skills. It can give hope to those in challenging life situations, empowering children in all areas of their lives. Horse Cents for Kids can only offer these cru-


circumstances should have access to horses and the therapeutic and life enhancing attributes they have to offer. Horse Cents for Kids, a non-profit chari- table organization in Niagara, is excited to an- nounce the launch of a pilot after-school program for at-risk youth this spring. While participating in
