JENKS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

You can Help!

Prior to the pandemic, Northwestern Stables regularly hosted students in the equine program at our local Philadelphia public elementary school, the Jenks Academy for the Arts and Sciences.

The equine program students visit the barn throughout the year to get a tour, learn what horses eat and how they live, identify tack, and get hands-on experience in safe grooming. Their final visit culminates in a special “mounted” lesson, when each child rides a school horse while on a leadline.

These students are really enthusiastic and their excitement is palpable. But often, they aren’t able to follow up with group lessons or summer riding camp due to financial limitations.

As these students return to NWS, we’d like to be able to offer them and their families the ability to continue riding.

Your support will:

  • fund a school year’s worth of group riding lessons for students
  • provide spaces in summer riding camp

That means, the more you give, the more we can do! Any amount is welcome.

Please help a deserving child experience that special connection with a horse and donate today!
