LUCK’s LEGACY HORSEMANSHIP PROGRAM FOR YOUTH

Find Out What You Can Do
You don’t need experience—just a willingness to try. You’ll start by learning how to safely approach, groom, care for, communicate with, and guide a 1,000-pound athlete. Master those horsemanship skills, and you’ll move into the saddle. With experienced support along the way, you’ll earn a horse’s trust, learn to ride, and become someone who truly knows their way around the barn.

Start Where You Are. Build Toward the Barn.

Not everyone is ready to climb onto a horse on day one. LUCK gives young people opportunities to build confidence, body awareness, balance, and basic horsemanship skills before progressing to experiences with live horses.
Build confidence. Find balance. Connect with horses.

From Loading Dock to Launching Point: L2 Corral

How Horses Help

Horses respond to what happens in the moment—not labels, backgrounds, or assumptions. Their responses give participants immediate opportunities to practice:

Safety

Creating physical and emotional environments where people can grow.

Trust

Building relationships through consistency, respect, and authenticity.

Choice & Agency

Giving people meaningful choices and a voice in their experience.

Collaboration

Learning and accomplishing things alongside others.

Empowerment

Building confidence through competence and discovering new strengths.

Purpose

Creating opportunities to contribute, care, build, grow, and give back.

THE LONG VIEW

LUCK has been searching for a permanent home since 2018. After plans for a Cleveland stable could not move forward, we continued offering equine experiences at borrowed facilities. Then LUCK received a 75-year lease on 60 acres in Geauga County—an opportunity to create the permanent home we had imagined.

Restoring Before Building

As planning began, we discovered that previous oil and gas activity had damaged water lines, soil and existing equestrian infrastructure.   We faced a choice: build on compromised land or pause, protect the organization financially and begin restoring the property. We chose the land. That decision delayed the equestrian center, but it also expanded our vision for what Blurred Line Farm could become.
More Than an Equestrian Center
Working with Lake Effect and Loiter East Cleveland, LUCK is shaping a place where people can:
  • Grow and preserve food
  • Explore farming, regenerative farming, composting and beekeeping
  • Care for horses and other livestock
  • Build horsemanship and riding skills
  • Create and experience trails to explore wildlife and nature
  • Help restore healthy soil and water systems
These experiences are all connected. People, animals, food systems and healthy land depend on attentive care and responsible relationships.

Growing Responsibly

LUCK is exploring practical, financially responsible ways to build an equestrian facility that meets zoning requirements, supports our programs and responds to the condition of the land.

Rather than impose a finished plan on a recovering property, we are allowing what we learn—from the land, our partners and the people we serve—to guide what comes next.

The journey has taken longer than expected, but the vision has grown: a permanent place where people can ride, grow food, care for animals, restore the land and discover what can happen when everything is given the opportunity to thrive.

Turn Ideas and Skills Into Possibilities.

Life around horses and farms is full of needs to identify, problems to solve, and work that matters. These experiences give participants opportunities to explore careers, develop workplace skills, and learn how ideas can become products, services, and community enterprises.

At LUCK, entrepreneurship isn’t only about making money. It’s about learning to recognize a need, take initiative, create something useful, and contribute to the community.

Ideas. Skills. Initiative. Community.
