Our Story

The KEEP is an equine assisted learning program founded by Kristen Leverentz. With Kristen's experiences growing up in a military community and her lifelong horsemanship, she has strived to create a unique and empowering learning environment for her clients.

 

Kristen spent a lot of time growing up on her grandparent's horse farm and working with their horses and moved back to the farm in 2010. She became certified in equine assisted learning during the summer of 2023 and formed the KEEP. Kristen truly believes that the KEEP is a partnership - with her horses, and with her clients. It is a family affair as Kristen's adult children will often volunteer their services to help out as equine specialists. 

Through guided groundwork sessions, The KEEP provides individuals with the opportunity to learn about trust, focus, and communication. The KEEP strives to create a safe and supportive space for our clients to grow and explore their relationships.
