Healing with Horses
Healing with Horses is a powerful equine program which supports individuals who have mental, physical, social or learning disabling conditions via Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) and Therapeutic Horseback Riding. We support children and adults. We work with at risk youth and those with special needs, as well as seniors with Dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Our Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) sessions help develop life skills in children and adults with complex trauma and those with Autism and other special needs. It is a collaborative effort between an equine specialist, the horses and the client(s). This is an experiential mode of learning and healing, which means it’s based on activities on the ground with horses. There is no horseback riding involved and no experience with horses is required.
During these sessions, our specialists guide our clients through activities with horses which can help improve self-esteem, self-awareness, confidence, and empathy. These activities are then processed to understand emotions, behaviors, and patterns which can lead to healing and change.
Community Garden
Through the creation of a community garden on our farm, we are working to empower those fighting poverty. Our goal is to help provide fresh, healthy produce for local residents, helping them to reduce their food bills.
Every summer, we provide thousands of pounds of fresh vegetables to our local community, via various distribution sites.
Our garden helps improve food security & dietary habits, as well as increases physical activity. Best of all, it builds community and friendship.
Thanks to our team of volunteers, we are able to produce a wide variety of vegetables and herbs to feed over twenty five local families.
Farm Trips
Come spend a day at the farm! Whether you want to attend one of our weekend Workshops, a Summer Day Camp, or a Field Trip as a part of your school, our farm has something to offer everyone.
Our Farm Trips include educational programs to inspire children to engage in, learn about and enjoy agriculture, nature, science and gardening. Our Farm Trips are designed for all ages and all are welcome.
We also know that life can get hard sometimes for adults, and that each of us face a myriad of stressors related to physical health, emotional and mental well being, trauma, relationships, finances and safety and security. But know you are not alone and you are not powerless. Through our series of Workshops and programs on personal healing and empowerment, we are committed to equipping each of us with the knowledge and tools to heal and find happiness.

“We cannot say enough about how much Cindy & Maria and their farm have helped our family. From day one, Cindy has amazed us with how easy it is for her to read not only horses, but our two kids as well. She was able to outline a plan for their journey after only one meeting that accurately identified their individual personalities as well as needs. The girls have been able to learn lifelong skills and ways to be more aware of their emotions and the emotions of those around them. The horses and other animals have become like family to the girls and they look forward to going each week.
The Healing with Horses Program has been such a blessing to our family and we couldn’t thank them enough. I truly hope they are able to continue to help change many more lives of anyone in need of these types of services. These women are an amazing asset to our community and deserve to be able to share this privilege with as many people as possible”.

Does your child want to learn how to ride a horse, but they also struggle with anxiety, depression, lack of self confidence or other mental health issues?
Our therapeutic Horseback Riding program not only teaches traditional horseback riding skills, but we focus on the emotional and psychological benefits of horseback riding as well.
