Native Horsemanship Youth Program

The Native Horsemanship Youth Program started in 1998, and so far has served hundreds of reservation youth, families, and military personnel. Any age, any ability or disability that a family is facing, our horses are specifically trained to safely interact with their student friends. Please feel free to recommend our program to someone who could benefit, and/or donate to our program. 100% of your donation goes directly to supporting this program, which is free to our low-income and disabled participants.

Lynne learned about Comanche horsemanship from her grandma and great-grandparents. “I learned that I should never have to use my hands to tell my horse what I needed. I learned I could communicate with my knees and weight, but also learned that I needed an extremely close relationship with my horse to have the kind of horsemanship they were speaking of. I’ve been trying ever since.” Lynne uses her 1997 AQHA stallion, Tuff Design, as the lesson/therapy horse.
