Empowering youth with horses. Urban Horse Project is a non-profit organization that understands the incredible impact horses can have on people. We empower youth who are living in the city by bringing exciting, beneficial horse programs into Metro Vancouver.

Youth need connection with the natural world. Urban youth have limited access to animals and nature. In our increasingly busy and stressful cities, many youth face health issues, social isolation and gaps in life skills. We help address these issues with horse programs that have been shown to reduce anxiety, improve wellness, and increase skills and confidence.

Ours is a recognized program new to Metro Vancouver. We are excited to work with Cartier Farms and their Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) program. We are first in Metro Vancouver offering this well-researched, leading-edge, objectives-driven program. Equine assisted learning engages people in hands-on activities with horses to promote self-discovery, and build their skills and resiliency.
