Youth Programs - How does the program work

The Cartier Equine-Assisted Learning Center invites you to partner with us on this inspirational journey that is making a big difference in the lives of youth in the community.

Equine-assisted learning experiential learning opportunities have proven to be a practical approach to teaching youth alternative skills for individuals to overcome when faced with difficult challenges and negative influences.

The Cartier Equine-Assisted Learning Center provides an opportunity to work through a BuildingBlock™ equine-assisted learning program specifically designed to bring out the best in those that enter as participants while using 'Horse Sense'. The Cartier Equine-Assisted Learning Center wants to help as many teenage sons and daughters feel better about them self, increase their self confidence, inspire them to reach their full potential - to make a difference in their lives.

Each exercise is custom designed to maximize the progressive learning potential and focus on developing individual skills as they work through each interactive group challenge. Teams will work to: develop relationships; accept responsibility and accountability; overcome barriers to find change; be encouraged to be creative and innovative; find opportunity in working together; realize the benefits associated with effective communication; and recognize the value of mutual trust, respect, and personal integrity.
