Community & Wellness Programs


Community Education & Youth Empowerment

Education at Cobb Equestrian is experiential — where classrooms have hooves, lessons are lived, and growth happens outdoors.

Programs include:

Youth Horsemanship Academy: Teaches responsibility, teamwork, and confidence through riding and horse care. Scholarships ensure access for all.

School & Group Field Trips: Interactive sessions introducing students to animal care, ecology, and farm stewardship.

Veterans & First Responder Resilience Program: Partnering with local VA and wellness groups, we offer structured, horse-based experiences that promote calm, trust, and reconnection after service-related trauma.

Workforce Development Internships: For teens and young adults interested in animal science, equine management, or nonprofit service.

Leadership Through Horses: Custom workshops for youth groups, corporations, and community teams using equine dynamics to teach authentic leadership and collaboration.


Wellness in Nature

A place to breathe, move, and reconnect.

Cobb Equestrian is as much a wellness space as it is an equestrian center. The land itself — with its rolling pastures, shaded trails, and Sweetwater Creek’s whispering current — offers restorative energy for body and mind.

Offerings include:

Trail Walks & Guided Reflection Paths: Gentle nature walks for individuals and groups, integrating mindfulness and sensory engagement.

Yoga in the Pasture: Seasonal outdoor yoga sessions overlooking the herd — grounding participants in presence and gratitude.

Meditative Grooming & Horse Connection Circles: Small group sessions focusing on empathy, rhythm, and calm co-regulation with horses.

Eco-Healing Workshops: Exploring sustainability, animal stewardship, and emotional ecology.

Seasonal Retreats & Farm Immersions: One- or two-day events blending movement, creative expression, and connection with horses and nature.

Community Outreach & Inclusion

We believe everyone deserves the chance to experience the calm and confidence that horses inspire. Our outreach programs bring that opportunity to schools, senior centers, shelters, and organizations across Cobb and Douglas counties.

Mobile Mini-Horse Visits: Small equines visit classrooms, hospitals, and community events — spreading joy and sparking curiosity.

Family Farm Days: Open events that welcome neighbors to explore, learn, and celebrate together.

Community Service Partnerships: Collaborations with local nonprofits, including youth mentorship, disability support, and foster family enrichment programs.

Sustainability & Stewardship

Our commitment to wellness extends to the environment.

Through regenerative land management and sustainable design, we preserve the beauty and health of Perkerson Mill’s ecosystem.

Practices include:

  • Manure composting and pasture rotation

  • Pollinator gardens and native tree restoration

  • Rainwater collection and soil erosion control

  • Wildlife habitat preservation along Sweetwater Creek

  • Stakeholder Benefits:

  • Environment: Improved biodiversity and soil health.

  • Community: A green sanctuary for recreation, reflection, and education.

  • Future Generations: A living model of sustainable land stewardship.

Our Ripple Effect

Every program at Cobb Equestrian strengthens a network of healing —

from horses to humans, from the earth to the community, from one moment of connection to countless lives changed.

When you engage, volunteer, donate, or simply visit, you become part of that healing circle.
