The Girl Scouts - Diamonds Horsemanship Program gives girls of all
ages and abilities a chance to ride and care for horses in a safe, fun
and challenging way. Girls are placed into our program based on age
AND ability. We teach riding from the “ground up” rather than “saddle
down,” with a portion of each lesson spent on barn chores because it
is important for girls to learn responsibility by caring for their horses.
Riding and working with horses helps build physical, mental and
social skills, boosts self-confidence, teaches problem solving and
self discipline - and, it's fun!

"Every horse deserves, at least once in its life, to be loved
by a girl."
Girls and their horses…anyone who has ever seen a girl whisper
secrets into a horse’s ear or wrap their arms around a horse’s neck
knows that girls and horses have a special bond.
The Girl Scouts – Diamonds Horse Program provides low-cost access to
equestrian programs for thousands of girls, equipping girls with the
compassion and confidence to succeed in the arena and in life. It
costs nearly $2,500 each year for EACH horse to provide feed, tack and
grooming supplies, riding equipment for girls, and vet, dental and
farrier care – will you be a sponsor and investor in our horse program
to make sure we continue to provide our girls and horses with the best
riding and leadership experience?
