HorsePower Kids ELP

The HorsePower Experiential Learning Program offers relational experiences to at-risk youth in an equine-facilitated ranch environment. Here, our trained facilitators guide student and horse interactions, helping young people to develop skills in self-awareness, communication, relationships, and team problem solving.

- HorsePower is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and the longest running, therapeutic, mental health equine program in the KC area.
- Therapeutic Horsemanship addresses youth emotional issues, including PTSD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, ADD, ADHD, and Mood Disorder.
- Students experience, learn and practice skills they can use at their homes, schools, and communities. Skills include socialization, trust, relationship building, honesty, reliability, effective communications, decision making, boundary setting, empathy, problem solving, respect, responsible use of power & control, impulse control, patience, and coping.
- Horses and the ranch setting promote a non-threatening (not clinical) environment to support students in gaining self confidence, self worth, and basic life skills.

Horsepower is located at Rising Star Ranch in Lee’s Summit, MO.
