Silver Buckle Youth Equestrian Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization located in Brush Prairie, Washington. The Center’s mission is to empower hope and positively impact lives through equine assisted activities in a suburban environment. Our programs strive to improve the quality of life for the youth in our community by providing behavioral and social healing through equine programs that foster building confidence, communication skills, and emotional coping tools through their relationships built with caring humans and heart connecting horses. Our goal is to facilitate learning and development of important life skills such as respect, responsibility, trust, citizenship, and compassion.

Silver Buckle provides a place where the youth learn responsibility and with that comes a sense of pride. I’ve seen the youth come and learn how to work together; proving to themselves, in fact, that they have what it takes to thrive in the world. They take that back home with them, that positive self worth. Silver Buckle is like a searchlight, shining on the youth, presenting “life” and saying “You CAN do this.” - Client Testimonial

It is no secret that all youth struggle in various degrees to overcome challenges such as fear, anger, self-esteem, confidence, and understanding right from wrong. At the Center, program participants learn life and career skills through horses. By investing in youth and families, Silver Buckle makes a positive and lasting impact in the community while offering hands-on education.

Kids see horses as fun, but they are also amazing teachers who require special accommodations and ongoing expensive care. We rely on donors, like yourselves, to fulfill our mission. Your gift can make all the difference in the life of a young person. Please consider making as generous a gift as you can.

Thank you so much for your help!
