A Letter from our Young Ambassador

Hello friends, 

My name is Nicole Garcia, and I am deeply honored to introduce myself as the daughter of Dayne Leon, the visionary behind Equine Music Center and Equine Music Therapy Resources, and as the Equine Youth Ambassador. 

Growing up, I’ve witnessed my mother’s unwavering commitment to helping others. Whether it was lending a listening ear, offering a helping hand, or simply spreading kindness, she has always been a beacon of support in our community. Her dedication and compassion have inspired me every single day. 

When my mom first shared her idea of combining horses and music to create a transformative experience for people of all ages and backgrounds, I knew it was something truly special. Her vision to utilize equine and music therapy to foster confidence and resilience resonated deeply with me. And today, that vision has become a reality, a place where magic happens every day.

I invite each and every one of you to join us in experiencing the magic of Equine Music Center firsthand. Whether you’re a parent seeking to build your child’s confidence, a teenager like me navigating the complexities of adolescence, or an adult striving to leave your mark on your community, there is something here for everyone. We have seen children who were once shy and withdrawn blossom into confident, resilient individuals. We’ve seen teenagers, facing the trials of building their identity, find a safe space to express themselves and grow. And we’ve seen adults rediscover their inner strength and purpose through volunteer work. 

But we can’t do this alone. The support from our community is crucial to our mission. Your donations and involvement are what allow us to continue this vital work. With your help, we can reach more children, offer more programs, and pave the way for many more success stories.

Before I conclude, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who have supported us on this journey, and specifically to my mom. Her belief and dedication to this mission has been the driving force behind our success, and she inspires me every single day. 

So I ask you to open your hearts- and your wallets- and consider supporting us in any way you can. Whether it’s through a donation, volunteering your time, or simply spreading the word about our mission, every bit of support makes a difference. Together, we can ensure that Equine Music Therapy Resources continues to change lives, one child at a time. 

Thank you, 

Nicole Garcia 
Equine Ambassador
