GATES Equine Program
GATES (Gals/Guys Achieving through Training, Encouragement, and Service) is a mentoring program designed to teach youth how to strengthen one another through training principles, encouraging one another, and service. Gates are used often to protect and keep horses in safe boundaries. Gates are also opened to guide horses into richer, greener pastures. “Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.” Psalm 118:19
The GATES Program reaches out and mentors to youth, ages 12 through high school. They will be partnered with a STR Wrangler and a horse. They will do barn chores together, care for their assigned horse and learn basic riding skills. The goal of GATES is that a deeper development of relationships, trust, responsibility, and discipline will result through this process. This program meets weekly and runs for six weeks in the spring and fall and is supervised by STR Staff.
Our GATES program is a valued program in our community. Due to high demand, we accept participants on a first-come, first-served basis. The program cost is $250. Scholarships are available through our Reach for the Stars Scholarship Fund. Click here to see a full explanation of scholarship criteria.
