There are more than 400,000 children in US foster care without a permanent place to live. These children are at a higher risk of becoming incarcerated, pregnant, addicted to drugs, and dependent of state benefits. These children, unfortunately, repeat the cycle of their parents and we see their children enter the system as well. 

Ending the treacherous cycle begins with each individual child. Meeting them where they are at, understanding their experience, and developing their self worth, sense of purpose, decision making, executive functioning and self regulation skills. Stable Moments is a 10 month, weekly mentorship program where foster and adopted children achieve individualized life goals through Equine Assisted Learning (EAL). The model utilizes volunteer mentors to facilitate EAL sessions. Bringing horses and these children together, in a one-on-one mentorship program allows the child to build life skills that will aid them in transitioning into a healthy adulthood.
