Why Horses and Farms?
Farms encourage movement and physical activity, we learn to finish tasks, to count and measure. We learn to communicate the needs of our animal friends to others, leading to improvement in our ability to communicate our own thoughts and needs. But most of all, we learn to take great pride in our accomplishments leading to joy, self-respect and personal responsibility.
Horses can help us be the very best we can be!
Who Benefits?
Equine activities are beneficial for people of all ages, especially those with cognitive and social challenges. Our students are encouraged to work to their full potential, not fit into a one-sized fits all program.
Many of our adopted program horses have special needs themselves, and these wonderful horses enjoy their new careers helping others.
Our Mission
To offer a meaningful experience for children, families and animals with special needs and others through the development of educational, vocational, and recreational equine and agricultural programs and services.
Our farm is a sanctuary for horses retired from Therapeutic Riding programs, and we also work closely with equine rescues and rehabilitation programs across the nation to network, rehabilitate and re-train horses who display potential as therapeutic partners.
