An afternoon of fun with friends and horses!
For Youth Grades 5 to 12
Planned by YAAY’s* Western Reps, especially for youth in their part of the Prairie to Pine Region
Throughout the afternoon, there will be 3 main stations. Each one will be about compassion and patience.
We will not be riding any horses instead we will be focusing on connecting with horses and seeing their compassion and patience with us. You will get to brush multiple horses, lead them and let them show us things we don’t understand.
You will also have time to connect with other youth and explore your faith while reflecting on the theme.

See this letter for more details.
Prairie Breeze Stables requires this Prairie Breeze Stables waiver to be signed for each participant. This is pretty standard procedure for businesses that offer activities where there is potential for risk, even though the risk is low when participants follow the instructions of the guides.

Do I have the skills and ideas the Regional Council is looking for? We have answers! (Hint: almost all of them are “yes”).
Regional Council representatives to your community of faith: we would love to see you. This is a brief connecting opportunity for you and your community of faith. If you can bring one person from your community of faith along, that would be wonderful.
