Junior Ranchers is our Small Group Mentorship Program for youth ages 9-18.
Participants are placed in groups of 4-6 individuals based on their age, life circumstances, and gender. Sessions are held twice per month for a three-hour period.

 

Junior Ranchers engage in group activities and discussions that can be applied to everyday life by learning leadership, teamwork, and horsemanship, with a focus on practical application Bible study. The program's goal is to empower participants to step outside their own limitations of thinking, I'm too young, I don’t know enough, and I only have something to offer if I’m one step ahead of someone else and instead become confident, servant-hearted leaders. 

​

Activities include (but are not limited to):

• Ground work with horses

• Riding and riding skill development

• Basic natural horsemanship education

• Basic, hands-on veterinary care education

• Bible study and discussion of practical application 

• Rehabilitation of rescue horses and horse rescue education

• Leadership, communication, and team-building development

• Farm chores, ranch stewardship, and basic farm equipment education

​

To ensure that we can serve as many participants as possible in the best way possible, we require anyone requesting sessions to fill out an application. We also require participants, parents/guardians, and any Ranch visitors to complete a waiver. Each Junior Rancher group is limited to a certain number of individuals, and all Junior Ranchers must commit to attending every session per season as lessons are cumulative.
