Training Center
Driving Tangible Results
The BayHorse Foundation is in the process of acquiring an 80-acre Training Center located in the Western part of the Ute Tribe’s Reservation. The location was acquired by BayHorser Ranch in an early effort to focus on entrepreneurial involvement with indigenous families in developing an agriculturally based economy involving self-sustained family communities with a 4-part focus: (1) healthy food production cooperatives supporting an active life-style, (2) family run Infrastructure and Construction Enterprises, (3) Creative Design and Manufacturing partnerships, and (4) Continuing Education support and mentoring activities utilizing horsemanship, gardening and high adventure activities. We develop partnerships with thought leaders, convene experts, and fund niche and collaborative efforts to meet our stake holders’ needs.
Groups of committed and collaborating organizations backed by a results-driven foundation can impact big change. Ute famlies are often impacted by enrollment and other ownership issues that seem unsolveable. Unifying efforts in finding long-term family solutions can be assisted by the BayHorse Foundation in a third-party, non-political, cooperative way, while also being within the Tribe’s jurisdiction by utilizing education initiatives that teach effective trust in communication, science and land and water stewardship to children and their families within the exterior boundaries of the Tribe. The BayHorse Foundation partners are determined to facilitate, fight for, and inspire effective and tangible progress in strategic land and water conservation and beneficial uses for the Tribe’s ancestral homelands in ensuring its families have a healthy and sustainable ecosystem and financially productive economy now and for future generations.
Value focused training for sustained family communities by locally providing, producing, preserving and distributing healthy foods and promoting active lifestyles
Using current and developing technologies in sync with cultural and family values will not only provide healthy, local food production for current and future populations, but will also provide opportunities to develop and protect rare and endangered plants and wildlife while bolstering range-wide restoration efforts within ancestral homelands.
Further development of Infrastructure, homes and shelters
The BayHorse Foundation is dedicated to the development of an entrepreneurial spirit for young people to become effective partners in designing, engineering, and building ecologically and culturally sensitive roads, utilities, and other infrastructure for recreational, natural habitat, homes, ranches, farms, and educational/spiritual facilities and other needed shelters (ie. enable tribal family ownership in construction management).
Design, Create, Manufacture and Market
The BayHorse Foundation is committed to enabling Tribal members and their related families and youth to become passionate owners of their own creative genius and to develop that for a sustainable career path in sustaining their individual and family livelihood.
