EHI Community Youth Programs
On patrol in Keney Park
Summer, school year, and weekend programs connect youth to nature and equine care throughout the year. A variety of programs engage ages 5-24 and offer them an opportunity to be a part of the equine community in their own neighborhood.
Junior Mounted Patrol (JMP)
JMP teaches western riding skills while training the young men to provide community service as they volunteer as park rangers for Hartford’s historic 693-acre Keney Park. In addition to horsemanship training, they receive instruction in leadership skills, conflict management, map reading and environmental awareness. They regularly ride in local parades, representing Ebony Horsewomen.
No experience is required.
