Fostering Personal Growth Through Equestrian Experiences
Empowering Youth and Teen Girls Through Equestrian Practices
Nizhoni (Ni-SH-O-nee) – means “Beautiful” in the Navajo language
The focus of the Nizhoni Equestrian Program is to foster personal growth through equestrian experiences. We strive to achieve this by encouraging the social and emotional development of youth & teen girls through equestrian training. With roots that date back to 1924, the Nizhoni Program was re-established in 2013 to provide ethnically diverse young women, ages 12-18, with positive and empowering experiences.
To date, LHC has served over 103,000 youth, facilitated more than 10,000 hours of curriculum and partnered with over 75 organizations.
Today’s Nizhoni Equestrian Program, provides a safe and welcoming environment, complete with a full barn, stables, tack room, corral, and access to a variety of trails. The program incorporates weekly instructional sessions over the course of the summer that provide participants with an opportunity to learn various equine care tactics and horseback riding skills, while building life skills, emotional awareness and self-confidence.
