Wild & Stable Youth Wellness Clubs
Confidence. Connection. Skills for Life.
Growing up comes with a lot, big emotions, friendships, school pressure, changing expectations, and learning how to navigate an increasingly busy world.
Wild & Stable Youth Wellness Clubs give kids and teens a place to slow down, connect, have fun and develop practical wellness skills in a setting that's a little different from the typical classroom:
At the barn, alongside horses.
Our 6-week small-group programs combine Equine Assisted Learning, wellness coaching, mindfulness, movement and hands-on activities to help young people better understand themselves, build confidence and develop tools they can carry into everyday life.
No previous horse experience is necessary!

The teen years come with their own unique pressures.

What's Included?
Your registration includes the entire 6-week Wild & Stable Wellness Club experience, including:
Custom Wellness Workbook
Each participant receives their own Wild & Stable workbook created specifically for the six-week series. We'll add to it throughout the program so participants leave with tools and activities they can continue using at home.
Hands-On Experiences With Horses
Participants will interact with our horses through age-appropriate, ground-based Equine Assisted Learning activities. No previous horse experience is necessary.
Wellness Activities
We'll incorporate mindfulness, movement, breathing, reflection, creative activities and practical wellness tools throughout the series.
Light Snacks
Light snacks and refreshments will be provided during each meeting.
Small-Group Connection
Group sizes are intentionally kept small to create opportunities for conversation, friendship and meaningful participation.
And A Lot of Fun!
Wellness doesn't have to feel like work. We want kids and teens to look forward to coming to the barn each week.
Is This a Good Fit for My Child?
You don't have to wait until your child is struggling to teach them how to care for their emotional wellness.
Wild & Stable Youth Wellness Clubs are designed for kids and teens with a variety of personalities, experiences and needs.
Some participants may benefit from additional tools for managing stress, confidence or big emotions. Others may simply love animals, want to make new friends, or benefit from having a positive place to unplug and spend time outside.
Kids are encouraged to come exactly as they are.
Why Horses/Donkeys?
Horses are incredibly aware of body language, energy, boundaries and communication.
Working alongside them creates opportunities for young people to practice concepts like patience, confidence, communication, emotional awareness and healthy boundaries in a way that feels natural and experiential.
Sometimes a lesson makes a lot more sense when you can experience it instead of just talking about it.
That's what makes Equine Assisted Learning such a special part of our program.

Equine-Assisted Learning & Growth
Sometimes the best way to learn about ourselves is through connection with something outside of ourselves.
Our ground-based equine experiences use guided activities alongside horses and donkeys to explore communication, confidence, boundaries, self-awareness, problem-solving and personal growth.
Horses are incredibly responsive to body language, energy and communication, creating opportunities to slow down, become more present and notice patterns in a completely different way.
Sessions are experiential and tailored to the individual or group. No riding or previous horse experience is required.
Great for:
Kids & teens • Adults • Families • Small groups • TeamsNo horse experience needed. All equine-assisted learning activities are ground-based.
-
Riding, Horsemanship & Horse Experiences
There's so much more to learning about horses than simply getting in the saddle.
Our individualized horse experiences help participants build confidence and develop practical horsemanship skills through grooming, handling, groundwork and riding.
Sessions are intentionally flexible. Some days may include more time riding, while others may focus on grooming, groundwork, connection or learning how to safely communicate with and care for a horse. We meet each participant where they are and allow the horse to be part of determining the pace.
Perfect for beginners, nervous riders and anyone who wants a more personal, relationship-focused approach to learning about horses.
Experiences may include:
Grooming & horse care • Groundwork • Safe handling • Horsemanship • Beginner riding • Confidence buildingNo previous horse experience required.
-
Kids & Teen Wellness
Kids need space to slow down, connect and just be, too.
Wild & Stable's kids and teen programs combine experiential wellness activities with the unique environment of the farm to help young people explore confidence, connection, emotional awareness and practical ways to navigate everyday stress.
Depending on the program, participants may spend time with the horses, practice mindfulness and movement, explore creative activities, spend time outdoors and participate in guided wellness lessons—all in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

Retreats & Wellness Experiences
Sometimes wellness starts with getting out of your normal environment.
Wild & Stable retreats and special wellness experiences create intentional space to step away from everyday responsibilities, reconnect with yourself and experience wellness in a way that feels approachable and real.
Depending on the experience, we may incorporate yoga and mindful movement, guided wellness workshops, nature, creative activities, nourishing food, reflection, connection and—just as importantly—actual downtime.
From a few intentional hours to a full weekend away, our experiences are created to give you room to breathe without feeling like you need to arrive with anything figured out.
Come exactly as you are.
Scheduled retreats and customized private experiences are available.

Wellness Coaching
Wellness isn't about doing everything perfectly. It's about finding what actually works in your real life.
Wild & Stable wellness coaching provides personalized support for identifying what's important to you, understanding what's getting in the way and creating realistic steps toward greater balance and well-being.
Together, we can explore areas such as stress management, routines, movement, self-care, boundaries, confidence, lifestyle habits and creating space for the things that help you feel more like yourself.
Coaching is collaborative, practical and designed around your life—not someone else's version of what wellness is supposed to look like.
Available individually or incorporated into select Wild & Stable programs and retreats.
