MENTORSHIP
Join Our Mentorship Program at Heavenly Horses
At Heavenly Horses, our Mentorship Program empowers passionate individuals to become skilled horse people, confident leaders, and advocates for equine welfare. Whether you’re a young person dreaming of a future in the equine industry or an adult eager to deepen your connection with horses, our program is designed to inspire, educate, and empower.
A Rare Opportunity at No Cost
We are proud to offer our Mentorship Program at no cost to participants, a rare commitment in the equine world. Participants receive personalized mentorship 3–5 times a week, gaining hands-on experience and expert guidance. Caring for each horse in our program costs an average of $1,200 per month, and we rely on sponsorships and donations to make this transformative experience accessible to all. Our passion is developing the next generation of horse people who will have a positive impact on the equine industry.
A Personalized Journey of Growth
Our Mentorship Program is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Each participant is paired with a horse, fostering a deep, personal connection that builds trust, confidence, and mutual respect. Through one-on-one guidance, you’ll learn to understand your horse’s unique personality, needs, and preferences while gaining hands-on skills in horsemanship and equine care.
Just as we tailor individual programs to meet the specific needs of each horse, we customize the mentorship experience to nurture each participant’s unique gifts. Some individuals shine in horse rehabilitation, equine therapy, and wellness, while others are drawn to riding, training, and showing. Many find their calling somewhere in between. Our goal is to identify your strengths and help you develop them, ensuring you thrive in the areas where your passion and talent align.
Through this program, participants become true advocates for horses, shaping a compassionate, ethical future for the equine industry by ensuring every horse is treated with the care and respect they deserve.
Preparing for a Bright Future in the Equine Industry
In addition to our rescue and rehabilitation efforts, we recognize these don’t cover the entire equine industry, which is why we offer a range of programs to prepare participants for diverse careers. By pairing mentees with show horses and show horse prospects alongside our rescue and rehabilitation programs, we provide a well-rounded education in the competitive and professional aspects of the industry, from horse showing to reproduction and training. This holistic approach ensures our participants are equipped to excel in any equine career while always advocating for horses, making a positive impact across the industry.
