Official 4-H Club 

Celebrating 26Years Of Serving Youth

Ebony Horsewomen, Inc. (EHI), founded in 1984, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit youth development organization, developed  by African-American female equestrians, whose mission is to encourage and empower inner city youth toward positive and successful lives through the use of horses. 

We have successfully serviced over 2,800 youth over the past eight years in the Greater Hartford Community. Our dedication to positive youth development affords us the opportunity to work with many of youth who remain with the organization's programs through high school and into higher education.

Twenty-six years ago, EHI was founded upon the knowledge and belief in the healing power that horses give to youth. Based on this belief and our general belief of how animals teach and heal, we have developed a unique array of therapeutic programs that includes a variety of farm, aquatic and reptile animals which provide creatively inquiry based academic learning, social and emotional development. 

Our full service Equestrian Center, open 7 days per week  also adds an  new dimension and vibrancy to the community through cultural and nature based events.
