Our horses do amazing things for youth in our coummunity building partnership and connection.
Partnering with horses gives young people the chance to learn and grow outside of the traditional classroom. Our program harnesses the natural qualities of horses to teach confidence, self-esteem, communication, connection, partnership, and problem-solving—essential skills for navigating today’s world and building a strong foundation for the future.
Our newest initiative, Horse Powered Reading, is a nationally recognized program proven to support youth in both reading and math. Through engaging, ground-based activities tailored to each student’s level, horses become powerful partners in learning. When a horse is added to the process, it creates excitement, motivation, and a fresh perspective that inspires students—whether they’re struggling readers in need of a new way to learn or advanced students seeking more engaging ways to grow.

At Melody’s Haven of Hope at Oregon Horsemanship, we are dedicated to providing every horse with a forever home filled with love and care. As we’ve grown, so has our mission. Through our riding and horsemanship programs, rescued and second-chance horses find renewed purpose while guiding youth toward personal growth and lifelong skills.
Help us create a brighter future for both horses and youth by exploring our programs. Together, we can continue this journey of healing, learning, and growing—side by side.
