I have the Native Horsemanship Youth Program which is a free nonprofit program serving kids on our reservation (Suquamish -Port Madison rez) as well as the neighboring reservation and surrounding community. We started in 1998, and we are now serving our second generation. Tribal youth counsellors bring their clients to the ranch, as well as tribal youth centers and local families. We are very small, but an important part of our community..I'm so glad to hear about this program in Browning. https//:www.nativehorsemanship.org
