Desert Sky New Horizons

Why New Horizons?

Aspiration and hope live on the horizon- where past, present, and future meet. Reaching for it is a quiet pull toward growth, deeper awareness, and a higher sense of purpose

About this Program

The Connection Series courses offered through this program are offered to various communities in order to help individuals build confidence and other life skills through ground-based, guided interactions with horses. No riding, all activities are ground-based.
