Life Skills and Horses!

Mission Statement:

Standing Tall Life Skills is a 501(c)3 non-profit established in 2019 to address a void in the available services offered to young people who were experiencing social and emotional issues. We designed a program where life skills are taught and demonstrated with the aid of our horses. We believe each child has the ability to be the best they can be by preparing them to become critical thinkers, problem solvers, and leaders by building self-esteem.

Our program is offered free to all participants thanks to donations and grants from the community. If you would like to help support Standing Tall, check out our needs on Amazon, or ask how you may assist with needed items. Contact Kiara, Program Manager, at 931-484-3733.

Predict the future by creating it

Standing Tall in the world takes courage, hard work, and determination. With all the uncertainties in today's society, it takes the village to help equip children with the tools to be confident and self-sufficient. Building a healthy, happy, and resilient family is our priority. Let us help you get there!

Standing Tall networks with other non-profits to foster a holistic group of like-minded partners to help our community become trauma-informed, pooling dwindling resources, and supporting our mutual goals. Together we can make a positive change for future generations.

Hands-On Experience
Two children stand together in a grassy field, interacting with two horses. The landscape is semi-dry with sparse trees and wooden fences in the background. One horse is white, and the other is brown. The children are wearing casual summer clothes and appear to be reaching towards the horses.

A white horse with a bridle stands in a grassy field, leaning forward to nibble on some hay being offered by a person's outstretched hand over a wire fence. The backdrop includes a flat landscape with sparse trees, a house, and power lines under a blue sky with a few clouds.

Thank you all for teaching me how to ride horses and teaching me how to improve myself in a better way. I really appreciate it. -Jake

We can fight off bullying and have confidence. I always struggled with that, but Daisey helped me take that off my mind and concentrate on nature and the horse. -Eli
