Empowering Youth through
Hands-On Learning with Horses

You're invited to bid on Dancing with the Stars, an original art piece created by renowned Montana artist Jennifer Lowe and donated to support the equine-assisted youth empowerment programs of Windhorse Equine Learning. Proceeds from the auction will directly benefit our programming, giving more youth in Gallatin and Park counties an opportunity to experience the magic of hands-on learning with horses. We are so grateful to be able to offer this 26" by 40" framed painting for open bidding online beginning October 14th and closing at midnight October 27th. Mark your calendars for a chance to own this gorgeous painting while benefiting a beautiful cause.

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes on a surprise… Windhorse is excited to present you with our sponsored license plate featuring one-of-a-kind equine art, created specifically for this project, by beloved local artist, DG House.

Please give a warm welcome to our newest board member, Michelle Griffith!

Michelle permanently relocated to Bozeman from Colorado in 2022. She holds an MBA, and has had a successful career in finance, product pricing, and strategic leadership. Most recently, she worked at FLIR Systems as the Senior Director of Corporate Product Strategy. She has also volunteered with several therapeutic riding programs, and served on the Board of Directors for Hearts and Horses, a PATH-accredited therapeutic riding center in Colorado.

  • Windhorse is currently offered in six-week small class sessions in the spring and fall and in week-long summer camps. The program is progressive and all participants must start in the basic horsemanship class. Students who stay in the program will be taught horsemanship and riding skills and will also mentor and support students in the basic classes.

    School-year classes are two hours and take place on Saturdays, Sundays, and some weekday afternoons. Windhorse offers a week-long summer camp in June in partnership with Montana State University’s College of Agriculture, and two summer camps in July in partnership with MSU and the Gallatin Valley YMCA. Each six-week session and summer camp is $300; needs based scholarships are available. To sign-up for the program, participants must complete the following application and questionnaire. Once accepted into the program, additional paperwork is required.
