JustBelieve training introduces Pueblo kids to the world of agriculture
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- Training horses, horse-shoeing, and equine photography. These are just a few of the skills taught at JustBelieve Training; a program out in Pueblo that introduces inner-city youth to the world of agriculture.
Jamon Turner, the founder of JustBelieve, is passionate about providing access to the outdoors to disadvantaged communities.
Each day, kids are faced with a new task on the ranch that they can apply to their everyday lives.
Turner said the relationship kids build with those horses helps them work on the relationship they have with themselves.
“We use this part here with the horses to speak to some of the mental blocks students have," said Turner. "We all go through different things. A lot of the times we can mirror our own behaviors through the eyes of these horses and learn to speak to those behaviors. Learn to speak to, 'Why I did this, Why I didn’t do this? What gave me confidence, What didn't?'”
The program has been running across the country for six years now.
