This program has 3 parts:
I. Intro to Equine Healing
II. Self Expression and Building Resiliency
III. R.E.B.E.L Buckaroo Program

Returning individuals get the opportunity to learn additional skills to support future herd members. This group receives in-depth education on equines and their behaviors as well as essential tools to cofacilitating The Herd Within Prison Project groups. A few of those key topics include authenticity, commitment, and group dynamics.
