Led by longrider and DreamPower Director Garry Stauber, this program, focusing on at-risk adolescent boys, involves a 14-week character development curriculum utilizing Equine Facilitated Learning and nature therapy. Graduates who successfully complete the "Cowboy Ethics" character development sessions and who have demonstrated basic horsemanshp skills are invited to participate in a horsepacking and camping trail ride that can lead to a four-day service project in the California wilderness.

A story about the first Equine Wilderness Journey program was featured in The Gilroy Dispatch.

 A very special thank you goes out to the South Valley Country Dancers, a country-western dance organization, for donating $2500 to cover the cost of insurance for the Equine Journey Wilderness Program.  Their generous donation allowed the dream of the wilderness program to become a reality.
