Horses N Heroes is dedicated to providing an equine learning and mentoring experience for young girls who come from families with extreme financial constraints. There is no fee for participation in the program.

Based out of Citra, Florida, Horses N Heroes is designed to bring horses and children together to help ignite the potential in both, providing hope for a bright future and self-assurance in their own abilities. 

Horses N Heroes gives their participants the opportunity to bond with horses and through that experience, they gain self-esteem. The girls also learn about responsibility, teamwork, kind-heartedness, commitment and much more.

Participants are taught all aspects of horsemanship including but not limited to riding, grooming, feeding and caring for the donated horses. Students also are given the opportunity to show at local horse shows.
