Empowered By Horses ~ Heart Centered Leadership for Girls ~ is a dream brought together by Carla Webb and Sharolyn Wandzura.

Our Mission is to create a natural environment that inspires girls to discover their true potential and lead their lives with compassion and courage.

Carla Webb. The biggest motivating factor that brought Carla into the dream was her 13 years experience as a police officer with the Vancouver Police Department.  In that time she worked in a variety of different sections but what she most enjoyed was working in the Downtown East Side of Vancouver.  What she learned very quickly was that drugs don’t discriminate.  She became more and more passionate about prevention and was moved to take this approach to another level.  One that not only focuses on prevention but one that empowers girls to discover their true potential.
