The Indian Cowgirl Association:

Building on the principles of many Native American tribes, the Indian Cowgirl Association* Program offered to young women between the ages of 12-17 combines the essence of the “Old West” and Native American traditions to give young women the skills needed to make healthy lifestyle choices in the areas of nutrition, exercise, and goal setting. This 6-week program will enable participants to better understand themselves, the impact of decisions, and the value of setting goals, and limits.

In addition, young women build confidence through interaction with horses. Through their work with horses, these young participants see the application of such life skills as teamwork, diligence, humility, and patience. Participants gain an understanding of long-held, timeless Native American values such as honesty, self-respect, and service to others. As a result, these young women are better prepared to handle the daily pressures they face.
