Hooley Horse Youth Initiative
The Hooley Horse Youth Initiative empowers local youth through meaningful experiences with horses.
Through hands-on horse care, riding, and mentorship, students build confidence, learn horsemanship skills, and grow through the SHIP traits: Self-Control, Humility, Integrity, and Perseverance.
Self-Control
Quick to listen. Slow to speak. Slow to anger.
Humility
Consider others, then yourself.
Integrity
Do what’s right, even when no one is watching.
Perseverance
When its hard, keep trying.
SHIP Traits
Support the Initiative
Help create opportunities for local youth.
Your support helps make meaningful horse experiences available to Fort Wayne youth who may not otherwise have the opportunity. Donations can help sponsor a child for Summer Horse Camp, support middle and high school students in hands-on programs, and help us continue teaching the SHIP traits of Self-Control, Humility, Integrity, and Perseverance.
Donations are tax-deductible through the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne.
