Healing with Horses is an Equine-Assisted Learning program which helps develop life skills in children with complex trauma needs. It is a collaborative effort between an equine specialist, the horses and the client(s). This is an experiential mode of learning, 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.

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.

Our garden helps improve food security & dietary habits, as well as increases physical activity. Best of all, it builds community and friendship.

We recently partnered with Thrive Virginia to coordinate a response to the lack of fresh, low-cost produce available in King William and King and Queen counties. Together, we are producing a wide variety of vegetables and herbs to feed over twenty five local families.

Come spend a day at the farm! Gather eggs, play with baby goats, feed carrots to the horses and help harvest vegetables. Don’t miss the hay ride around our 60-acre farm.  Pick strawberries (in season) and help make strawberry jam or milk the goats to make goat soap.

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 participate in school programs, as well as summer camps and are particularly passionate about supporting our local foster care programs.
