Mission Statement
Using the highly esteemed skill of horseback riding to inspire youth, while enriching the whole person through our 4 core areas of growth.
Description
Our program not only teaches the highly esteemed skill of horseback riding, but academic achievement and character building. Some of the academic areas we build upon are science, math, literacy, and cultural history. Youth in our program also build discipline, self-esteem, and leadership.
CJE serves as a safe haven away from the dangers of the streets, such as drugs, gangs, and poverty. Horseback riding naturally helps build coping mechanisms for the youth, in turn, youth gain respect for animals and nature, and eachother, building lifelong bonds.
