Weymouth Equestrians “WE”
A Community Equestrian Center For Underserved Teens
Weymouth Equestrians is a new program designed to enroll youth in equestrian experiences, including horse riding and horse care on the grounds of Weymouth. This afterschool program celebrates Weymouth’s equestrian heritage while eliminating barriers to participation in equestrian care and riding for all young people.
Our onsite equestrian facility gives us the opportunity to reinvent its purpose to serve the Southern Pines community with inclusion and relevance.
WE’s flagship after-school program offers multi-week sessions over the course of school year (Fall and Spring) 2 days per week. Students in Weymouth Equestrians learn about horse care: grooming, feeding, vet visits, and farrier; how to care for a barn and cleaning tack; how to safely ride horses and handle horses on the grounds; and how to have fun while acquiring life skills. WE manages liability and safety requirements, and provides all necessary riding resources.
Weymouth Equestrians meets on Mondays and Wednesdays at the Weymouth Center stables (555 E. Connecticut Ave. Southern Pines) from 4-6 pm. Please click on the link below to submit an interest form for the program!
