What is the Pistols & Pearls Purpose?
Our principle purpose is to teach the equestrian art to our community's youth. We feel that by learning this art, our youth not only improve their horsemanship skills, but they also build self-confidence, self-esteem, learn compassion for others, leadership skills, responsibility, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. We want our riders to set a high standard within their community and become positive role models to all who meet and observe them.
