Healing with Horses

Healing with Horses is a powerful and compassionate program similar to Equine Therapy, that supports individuals with mental, physical, social, or learning challenges through Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) and Therapeutic Horseback Riding. We serve children, adolescents, and adults—including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), autism, complex trauma, and youth considered at-risk.

Our EAL sessions are designed to build life skills through ground-based activities with horses. These sessions do not involve horseback riding and require no prior experience with horses.

Each session is a collaborative effort between the client, a certified equine specialist, and our gentle, intuitive horses. Through engaging, hands-on interactions, clients are supported in developing:

  • Self-awareness & emotional regulation
  • Confidence & self-esteem
  • Communication & social skills
  • Gross and fine motor coordination
  • Cognitive and behavioral functioning
  • Anger Management & more

After each activity, clients are guided through reflective discussions to help process their experiences—exploring emotions, identifying patterns, and fostering personal insight and growth.

We believe in meeting each individual where they are, and creating a nurturing environment where healing happens naturally through trust, connection, and compassionate guidance. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or a loved one, Healing with Horses is a journey of discovery, empowerment, and transformation.

Community Garden

Fresh Food. Stronger Families. Healthier Futures.

At Fox Moon Farm, our community garden is more than a plot of land—it’s a mission to combat poverty, improve food security, and nurture community connections.

Each summer, with the help of our incredible volunteers, we grow and distribute thousands of pounds of fresh, healthy produce to local families. Our garden supports over 25 households, helping them reduce grocery costs while gaining access to nutrient-rich vegetables and herbs.

But the impact goes far beyond food.

Through gardening, we promote:

  • Healthier eating habits
  • Increased physical activity
  • A deeper sense of purpose and community belonging

By working side by side in the soil, neighbors become friends, and individuals gain confidence, skills, and a renewed sense of possibility.

The Fox Moon Farm Project

One of the most important things we teach at Fox Moon Farm isn't a skill you can see from the outside — it's the ability to recognize what's happening inside.

Many of our children, especially those on the spectrum, feel things intensely. The world moves fast, expects a lot, and rarely explains its own rules. That combination can be overwhelming. And often, kids haven't yet learned to notice a feeling building before it takes over — where anger sits in the chest, where anxiety shows up in the shoulders, what it feels like right before things get too big to manage.

This is where the horses become extraordinary teachers.

Horses are mirrors. They are prey animals, wired to read the smallest shifts in the humans around them — a tense jaw, a held breath, a racing heart — and they respond to it instantly. A child who is spiraling but doesn't know it yet will often see it reflected back first in the horse: pinned ears, a shift in weight, a step away. It's a gentle, honest kind of feedback no lecture could deliver. And once a child understands that connection, something shifts — they start paying attention to their own body, because they want the horse to feel safe with them.

From there, we build skills: deep breathing, mindfulness, "horse breath" exercises done shoulder to shoulder with a horse who breathes right along with them. And the farm itself does quiet work too — something about being near horses calms the nervous system. So does the forest. So does water. So does open air and sunlight. We don't have to manufacture calm here. We just have to make space for it.

Regulation isn't about never feeling big emotions. It's about learning to notice them, name them, and move through them without being swept away. That's a life skill that follows a child far beyond our fences.

There's a moment that happens over and over again at Fox Moon Farm, and we never get tired of watching it.

A child stands at the pasture fence, sure they can't climb it. Or stares at a halter, sure their hands won't figure out the buckle. Or looks up at a horse — enormous, powerful, nothing like them — and is sure, absolutely sure, that this isn't for them.

So many of our kids arrive carrying that certainty. They've spent years being told, in a hundred small ways, that they're different — that they don't move through the world the way other kids do, don't learn the way the classroom expects, don't look or sound or act like what's "typical." That adds up. It settles into a child's sense of self long before they have words for it.

Here, we don't start with big lessons. We start with small, achievable tasks — climbing the pasture fence, hooking a halter, jumping off a rock, grooming a horse, learning to drive the tractor. Nothing flashy. Just one thing, right at the edge of what feels possible.

And when they do it — when the halter clicks, when their feet land on the other side of that fence — we celebrate. Loudly. High-fives, real "good jobs," the kind of recognition that says we saw that, and it mattered.

Confidence isn't built in a single triumphant moment. It's built task by task, the same way trust is built with a horse — slowly, and only through proof. Every small win here becomes evidence a child can carry with them: I did the thing I didn't think I could do. That evidence adds up to something society hasn't handed them: the belief that they are capable.

That's the work. One fence, one halter, one hoof pick at a time. ... See MoreSee Less

How do you measure joy?

It's not a number on a chart. It's not something you can graph or quantify in a quarterly report. But if you spent a day here at Fox Moon Farm, you'd see it everywhere — and you'd understand exactly what we mean.

It's the moment a child who struggles to make eye contact looks straight into the eyes of a horse and doesn't look away. It's the quiet pride on a teenager's face after they've mucked a runnin from start to finish, all by themselves. It's a grown adult, laughing out loud, because a goat just decided they were their new best friend.

We serve children and adults of every age and every ability here. They come to us for a hundred different reasons — trauma, anxiety, sensory processing differences, grief, isolation. But underneath all of it, they're looking for the same thing: a little more joy. A little more peace. A place where they're accepted exactly as they are.

So how do we measure it? We measure it in the acts of kindness we see between strangers who just met an hour ago. We measure it in bare feet running through the grass because — for once — nobody's watching to see if they're doing it "right." We measure it in the deep exhale that happens when someone finally feels safe enough to just be.

Joy doesn't always look like a big moment. Sometimes it's small, quiet, and easy to miss. But we see it every single day — and we never stop being grateful for it. ... See MoreSee Less
