Our Focus

To develop instructors with quality teaching techniques and proficiency as equestrian program managers and leaders.

Included are English and Western Equitation, Packing, Driving, Training, Jumping, Equine First Aid, and Spiritual Presentations using horses as illustrations (Knights for Christ). EMW trains instructors to be alert to opportunities to share the gospel through the avenue of quality horsemanship.
