THE RED BARN PROJECT
@Triple Moon Equestrian
-A horse and human sanctuary-
We are a non profit charity that benefits teens in our community that are willing and committed to becoming stewards to horses, animals, homesteading and the earth. Through working directly with the animals and as a team, these dedicated youth learn incredible skills that can be applied to any part of their lives. In turn, they gain a positive identity, confidence and realize that they can make changes in the world.
Did you know that most of our lesson horses here at Triple Moon Equestrian are in the program because they needed a second chance at a purposeful life? Some were rescued. Some were outgrown by their child riders. Some were very misunderstood. Some are ex-show horses who are done with that "job". Some needed to be healed by us. Some came to heal us. Some came to us as a step just before retirement and some came to us simply because they needed a kind home with lots of love and superb care.
We believe that lesson horses are the most important part of the foundation to everyone's equine education. We feel they deserve the best care and environment we can offer for their service. With out them, there would be no upper level equestrian sports. There would be no police, military, search and rescue, hunting, logging and therapy horses. There would be no trainers, coaches or instructors. These lesson horses are very important to the entire process of learning while giving the utmost patience through out. Lesson horses are there to teach the first time equestrian how put on a bridle, pick out their hooves and be understanding when riders are nervous and unbalanced. They are kind and gentle teachers, friends and therapists. Sometimes they may have a hitch in their step or are hard to get moving. Sometimes they may give a student a hard time. But they always leave the student with a great understanding that each animal is a sentient being with a mind and life of their own. Lesson horses are essentially the saints that carry the weight of the entire equestrian world!
Here at Triple Moon Equestrian we try our very best to make the positive gift of horses and animals accessible to all walks of life. We are inclusive to everyone we have the capacity to serve. In hand with that goal, we promise our equine counterparts that we will bring up well educated and mindful horse women and men. These students will then move on to be future stewards to watch over them for years to come. We want to continue to help the over looked horse have that second chance at life. We want to continue to inspire and ignite young people to be connected to the natural world and to be a part of something outside of themselves.
