Sea Star Horse Sanctuary offers experiential activities with horses in a caring environment that encourage the development of life skills and values, such as empathy and confidence, to build self-esteem and provide a positive role model for vulnerable youth. In an on-going relationship with Community Partnership for Youth, Sea Star’s programs have been helping young people from Monterey County, California and beyond. We offer equine-assisted activities that nurture the physical body, creative mind, emotional and social behaviors, and demonstrate that there are positive ways to react and interact with each other. We provide a safe and loving environment so that children of all ages and teens who have been through many challenges in their lives can feel seen and heard. The horse herd and abundant natural resources from mountain to sea at the sanctuary provide a dynamic background with which these youth can connect.
