Located in Brush Prairie, the Silver Buckle Youth Equestrian Center (SBYEC) is a beloved local nonprofit dedicated to empowering young people through the transformative power of horses. Far more than just a riding stable, Silver Buckle provides a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where youth can connect with nature, build lasting friendships, and experience hands-on horsemanship. By bringing young hearts and horses together, the center serves as a vibrant community hub where youth of all backgrounds can discover the joy of the equestrian world.

At the core of Silver Buckle’s programming is a focus on character development and foundational life skills. Through interactive programs like the 4-H Rein & Shine Club, summer camps, "Books at the Buckle," and immersive field trips, participants learn the values of respect, responsibility, trust, citizenship, and compassion. Working closely with the center's dedicated herd teaches these young handlers the importance of teamwork and empathy, building a deep sense of confidence that extends far beyond the arena and carries over into their daily lives.

As a community-supported organization, Silver Buckle thrives thanks to the dedication of local volunteers, sponsors, and partners. Whether hosting family-friendly play days, offering facility rentals, or providing public equine encounters, the center continuously looks for ways to give back and enrich Southwest Washington. By supporting Silver Buckle, our community helps ensure that local youth have a positive space to grow, learn, and create unforgettable memories alongside their favorite four-legged mentors.
