Programs

Every Unbridled Rising program follows the same architecture: a structured session, a partnership-trained horse, a PATH International-certified facilitator, and validated outcome instruments administered before and after. What changes across programs is the developmental emphasis, the duration, and the population. What stays constant is the rigor.

COHORT 1: July 13-17, Lincourt Stable at The Paddock, Atwater Village

COHORT 2: July 20-24, Lincourt Stable at The Paddock, Atwater Village

The IGNITE track targets the highest-leverage developmental window in Unbridled Rising's prevention mission: ages 13–16, identity in formation, peer belonging paramount. Five consecutive days of structured horse partnership, facilitated reflection, and peer community designed to produce measurable pre/post shifts in self-esteem, anxiety, and emotional regulation.

Each cohort is capped at 8 participants. Sessions are facilitated by PATH International-certified equine-assisted learning practitioners. Outcome instruments (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, GAD-7) are administered on Day 1 and Day 5. Results are shared with participants and families at close.

Sliding scale pricing available. Scholarships available for families who qualify. No participant turned away for financial reasons. Contact us to discuss.

  • "The ventral vagal state — the physiological signature of safety, connection, and learning — is not something a person can think themselves into. It must be felt. The horse creates the conditions for it to emerge." — Unbridled Rising, grounded in Polyvagal Theory (Porges)

  • "Agency is the belief that your actions produce outcomes. For young people whose environments have made that connection unreliable, the horse relationship rebuilds that neural pathway through direct experience — not instruction." — The RISE Curriculum Framework

  • "A horse trained through partnership brings a different quality of presence to the human encounter. It is not bracing. It is available. That availability is the mechanism." — Unbridled Rising Horsemanship Standard

  • "Horses help us to connect with the natural world and the beauty that surrounds us." - Jane Goodall
