Our final show of the regular show season finished with sunshine and smiles! The show team had a great time showing their horses and getting some ribbons along the way. This was a tough competition! We are proud of our riders and their ability to always do their best!

Help Keep Our Horses Ready to Make a Difference!

Our horses have an important job at ECL, they help our students learn, grow, build confidence, and experience the incredible connection that comes from working with horses. But before they can do that, they need to be physically prepared for the work!

We are looking for Exercise Rider Volunteers to help keep our horses fit, conditioned, and ready for their jobs. Exercise riders play an important behind-the-scenes role in making sure our herd is staying in good physical condition.

Exercise Rider Volunteers Requirements:
• Be 18 years or older
• Have experience and confidence riding a horse
• Be able to safely handle and ride our horses
• Complete a riding evaluation before being accepted into the program.

Whether you are looking for a way to spend more time in the saddle or want to support ECL in a different way, this is a great opportunity to make a difference!

Help Us Build the Future of ECL

At the Equine Center for Learning, we believe horses have the power to create connection, build confidence, inspire learning, and change lives. Every day, our horses and programs provide students with opportunities to learn, grow, and experience success in ways that reach beyond the barn.

Now, we are working to build the future of ECL through our Capital Campaign.

Our campaign will help us expand our facility, improve spaces for our participants, enhance our programs, and create more opportunities for students and our community to experience the power of horses. This campaign is not just about a new facility. It is about building a place where more people can learn, connect, and thrive.

Whether you give, attend an event, share our story, or help spread the word, you are part of our future.
