That's why we have made it our mission to open the gates of horsemanship to those who would not otherwise have the chance. In our first 18 months, we’ve seen truly extraordinary growth in our students confidence, academics and riding skills. Through partnerships with the Boys and Girls Club of the Capital Region,  the Saratoga Polo School, Dutch Manor Stable and Saddle Up Scholars, and the financial support from our donors, we have put together a team that not only makes their polo and horseback riding lessons possible, but also improves their academic standing by leaps and bounds. Having so many people in their corner, rooting them on, makes a huge difference in their lives. We are incredibly proud to share that one of our seniors has been accepted to Siena College, and SUNY Albany and another has just submitted her application to SUNY Albany. Both girls plan to ride on their college equestrian teams! The dreams we had for this program and these girls are coming true. We ask for your support to help them continue thriving and creating brighter futures. We can’t do it without your help. Thank you for your support!
