E199 Cowboy human Ghuan Featherstone is the founder and director of Urban Saddles, a community outreach program that is building “hope and opportunity for youth and community through the equine experience and the cowboy code of the west.” Kids and young adults come together to ride horses and learn what it means to be a cowboy. Outside of those stables, many come from troubled circumstances, gang violence and disrupted family units, but once they’re a part of Urban Saddles and its affiliate Lavender Hill Farm, it’s all about the horses, horticulture, husbandry and agriculture. Kids are learning to be leaders, one ride at a time.
