Foxfire Eventing is an educational program founded by youth, for youth… AND horses! Through service to horses who need a second chance at life, Foxfire gives youth a chance, as well.
The Foxfire extracurricular program teaches and fosters a growth mindset, responsibility, leadership, peer mentorship, volunteerism, animal welfare, and active lifestyles.
Current teammates range from ages 5-18. Youth build skills and community by learning about, and caring for, 10 horses, engaging in all aspects of running a working horse farm, and teaching other youth through peer mentoring and partnerships.
Mini Camp is a one-day immersive experience, an abbreviated version of our Full Sessions, which are are week-long, daytime experiences.
During Foxfire days, you can expect to learn, in a hands-on, immersive, interactive way, all of the following, and more:
| a survey of general horse information | how to handle a horse in a safe, constructive way |

| how to prepare a horse to ride, and how to ride | proper nutrition for each horse, and why |
| basic medical, dental, and hoof care for horses | how to keep a horse farm going |
| the horse sports of the world | careers and other futures with horses |
