Only a limited number of individuals are selected each year.

We are not looking for perfect individuals.

We are looking for those who:

  • show up 
  • put in the work 
  • take responsibility 
  • stay committed over time

This program is earned, not given.

If you are selected, it is because you have demonstrated the mindset, commitment, and readiness to take on the responsibility of a horse—and everything that comes with it.
