Women's Empowerment Programs
Women's Workshops
What can you learn from a horse? Join the B&B Brigade team to help focus on your goals and objectives by participating in our Women's Empowerment Workshop.
Challenge yourself as you maneuver our 1,000+ lb. teachers through a series of obstacle courses learning about communication, choices, trust, problem solving, leadership, focus and meeting your goals! It is FUN learning in an outdoor classroom. There is NO riding during this program, it is groundwork only. No horse experience is necessary!
This is a non-riding program working with the horses on the ground. The morning starts with a group discussion regarding the horses as the teachers. We will go outside for a safety demo and learn how the horses will speak to us. Then we begin the programs utilizing different obstacle courses. If you can move a 1000+ pound horse through an obstacle course you can do almost anything in life! At the end we circle up and discuss our experiences and the impact the horses have made on us!

Weekly Curriculum Series
A life skills development series designed to empower women in their life journeys, helping them to move forward with confidence and reclaim their power by building critical life skills that are paralleled back to their own worlds in a safe and unique environment!
​
Whether you as a woman, or the women within your organization are looking to find their way, reconnect with themselves, gain inner strength or learning how to own their power by building critical life skills, this program will help you to find that direction to help reclaim your life!
When a woman knows that she can move and work with a 1200 lb. animal, she learns she can do anything in life!
This is an 8-12 week series and can be tailored to your needs. There is no riding in this program, but rather working with the horses on the ground and using their responses to help participants to move forward in their lives. They work hard to push us to a new level where we can feel confident and competent in ourselves and in our abilities.
Building Strong Families
A Life-Changing Program & Fun Activity For Families
Do you feel like your family is losing their overall connection because of so much time online and because of the reduced amount of activities that require interaction among family members?
It's only normal to feel a little unstable, stressed, and in need of some new foundational skills like effective communication, reading body language, appropriate assertiveness, and problem solving.
Join us for a fun family activity with a purpose! Our equine teachers can guide us through improving our relationships within the family herd. Our teachers (horses!) can help you strengthen, regroup and rebuild!
Step outside of the usual family activities and foster new avenues of working together, finding new, healthy ways to communicate, and find success in your family team!
Our family programs help build crucial communication and life skills. Our programs assist to strengthen each individual, as well as bonds with other family members.

Youth Life Skills Program
Youth Skills For Life Curriculum Program
DO OUR YOUTH HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THROUGH LIFE'S CHALLENGES?
Let's help our youth to build an armor of skills so that they know how to protect themselves and move forward no matter what life throws at them. When our youth learn they consistently have choices, they also learn self-awareness through the powerful teacher, the horse.
The programs that we employ are constructed to allow youth to retain and utilize life skills in an interactive environment. Our horses are 1200+ lb teachers, which allow participants to have an experience that they will never forget. Youth face growing challenges every day, and our program offers the opportunity to assist them in becoming leaders, making choices, as well as building confidence and self-esteem. Our youth programs are for ages 8 and up, and range between 6 - 12 sessions. This time frame allows participants to solidify the skills learned in a usable way.
Horses are the ideal educational tool for use with children. Once a child is taught the fundamentals of working safely alongside a horse, he or she can become the leader the horse seeks. When the horse feels safe and at peace with the person, cooperation occurs and the child can easily gain the respect and teamwork of the horse. The BuildingBlock™ Program we offer delivers fast and effective results!
These experiential programs for youth are not only educational but have been designed for youth to acquire strength-based life skills (i.e., developmental assets) such as effective communication, enhanced problem-solving, a better understanding of body language, respecting personal boundaries, among others.
These life skills programs give youth an experience to pull from when they are faced with choices in everyday life as they build strong solid skills working with their teacher. Our youth curriculum programs range between 6 or 12 sessions. This allows the effectiveness of the course but also to track the advancements in each of the youth within it.
