Pathways Program
Endeavor partners with local residential facilities to support the efforts for positive youth development to the areas most vulnerable young men and women due a variety of factors including poverty, racism, mental health diagnosis, and histories of trauma.

Equine Assisted Learning
Endeavor partners with local schools or school districts to offer programs in the sensory rich environment of the farm. Endeavor instructors partner with the teachers to create lessons plans that compliment the learning objectives in the classroom.
Therapeutic Horsemanship
Therapeutic horseback riding and ground horsemanship are recreational and sport-based activities that naturally complement one another. The program teaches both riding and unmounted horse skills to children and adults.
Participants are able to learn riding skills in a safe and judgement free environment that is empowering and fun. These skills include mounting and dismounting, steering, transitions, posting, half seat, diagonals, ring figures, leg yields, and jumping.
On the ground, the participant is able to tend to their horse and experience a stronger bond than riding alone. This includes but is not limited to horse anatomy, grooming, first aid and healthcare, feeding and watering, leading and lunging, and horse breeds and colors and history.
Endeavor can accommodate children of varying levels and always focus on the ability and setting goals that continue to challenge and inspire.
Some of the therapeutic benefits that we typically observer include physical improvements like increase in core strength and fine motor skills; cognitive improvements like increase in ability to perform multi-step directions; emotional improvements like the increase ability in self-regulation, and social skills for example increase in confidence to communicate with peers.
