**This workshop is offered at a low rate as a part of HJC’s continued commitment to closing the leadership gender gap. HJC has pledged to offer at least one opportunity per month at these reduced rates to make programs for women and girls accessible.

Mothers\Daughters, Aunts\Nieces, Grandmothers\Granddaughters - or all combinations of multi-generational women, girls, Two-spirit, trans and non-binary people - are invited to participate in a half day (3.5 hour) confidence and leadership building workshop with Ellen and the HJC herd.

Research continues to demonstrate that by the early age of 8 years, girls begin to rapidly lose confidence compared with their male peers. These confidence deficiencies often follow our youth into adulthood. We want to break that cycle!

Join us for a fun morning of learning, horsemanship activities and confidence building across generations! We want to not only surround young girls with positive messaging but lead by example and what more powerful message is there than two people in different generations learning together?

No horse experience required.

Please note this is NOT a horseback riding lesson.

Children must be aged 10-12 years - accompanying adult has no age limit!

Coffee\tea\cider and a light snack provided.

Limited space (3 pairs). Deposit required to secure reservation. $90 per pair + HST.
