Why do we do it? The common thread between all of the young women that participate in the CORRAL program extends beyond their histories and current issues. These girls have experienced a great deal of pain.
It’s time to put an end to the cycle of hurt that perpetuates legacies of self-hatred, mistrust and abuse among women in America.
Ending the cycle to intergenerational trauma and systemic marginalization in our community. We believe that anyone who has been broken can be made whole again and that horses can reach the heart of an at-risk girl in a way that others in their lives often cannot.
We’re a faith-motivated nonprofit that equips adolescent girls in high-risk situations through a long-term, holistic program of equine therapy and education to prepare each girl and her community with skills, resources, and opportunities so that she can gain access to a bright future.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18
CORRAL believes that helping kids requires a holistic intervention. We must address the whole child: emotional, physical, spiritual and mental while providing the skills needed to reach their goals and dreams. We also believe that working with a horse will allow girls to address hurt, trauma and unhealthy patterns in a unique way – horses help girls learn emotional intelligence and develop the leadership skills that are required of an equestrian. CORRAL also believes that the support of a network of caring and consistent adults combined with rigorous accountability will lead the young women at CORRAL out of their current situations and into a healthier, happier permanent chapter in their lives.
The Lord has done great things for us and we rejoice! Check out a few of our history’s highlights over the years.
