Ride and Recharge, A Single Visit Event
Call a few of your friends and meet us at the farm for some fresh air, friendly horses and fun new experiences. This hour and a half long experience is designed as a way to get away from the everyday stressors in your life and give you time to recharge and form lasting memories with your friends. No experience is needed. As you work with our instructors to groom and tack before riding, you will gain confidence and learn how to communicate with your horse. Join us for one of our pre-selected dates, or schedule a private event for you and your friends. (minimum of 4 people needed for private events)
Farm Experience For Schools or Adult Day Programs, A Multi-Visit Program
This is a program where individuals come to the farm for an hour each week to spend time in the fresh air and learn more about horses. During the 6-week program, participants will use equine- assisted activities to learn all about horses and what it takes to keep them happy and healthy. Participants will also notice an increase in their balance, coordination, self-esteem and communication skills as they work with the horses and each other.
From The Ground Up, A Multi-Visit Program
During this course riders will come to the barn once a week for 6 weeks. Each hour long lesson will include time spent riding as well as off horse activities that are designed to teach the riders about horses and how to care for them in a hands-on and engaging way.
Field Trip, A Single Visit Event
Our field trips are specifically designed for your student population. Each trip will be tailored to address the unique needs and goals of your students. The 2-hour long field trip encourages your students to participate, cooperate and communicate. Activities include, but are not limited to: Equine related arts and crafts, a nature walk to the pond and around the farm, and equine-assisted games. While our main field trip is an off horse/ equine-assisted event, we do offer trips where kids get to feel the movement of the horse with a “Riding Experience” option. Contact our Group Co-Ordinator to see which trip would best suit your students.

The Natural Connection
A two hour experiential workshop focusing on stress-management, self-discovery, mindfulness, and wellbeing.
The things that cause us stress can be overwhelming. They zap our energy, confidence, and sense of joy. They have a powerful and negative impact on well-being. This two hour workshop will help you identify your stressors and empower you to rewrite how stress impacts your life. The workshop will include mindfulness activities that engage all five senses. As well as breathing exercises, and equine-assisted activities that are all designed to gently challenge how you view yourself and recognize your own power to manage stressors and anxiety. MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT!
The workshop can be customized to meet the needs of many populations and offers an excellent "recharge" for anyone who is feeling the need to reset and get back into balance. Our goal is for participants to leave the workshop with powerful new insights, deeper self-appreciation, renewed energy, and greater confidence. All of which enhance communication skills, productivity, self-advocacy, overall well-being, and more!
The workshop is excellent for:
- Overwhelmed moms (an opportunity to gain some peace and clarity while reconnecting with herself and other moms)
- Teens (an excellent, "tech-free" experience for stressed-out, self-conscious, over-stimulated young people!)
- Teachers and other professionals (a great opportunity to reconnect and gain some balance in an overly busy world. Excellent for individuals or teams!)
