Our programs make learning and the arts more fun. After all, animals don’t judge or bully a child like other humans regrettably can do. Plus children learn more about the animals themselves!

Barnyard for brains
In this program, children with reading difficulties actually read stories to a barnyard buddy while the cuddly animal listens along! A child that may be hesitant to read aloud to his peers is typically less stressed when reading to an animal and the animal never judges the child’s reading ability.
Animals for autism
A program geared toward Autism and Animal Assisted Activities (Aka Animal Assisted Therapy).
Healing heroes, first responders and their families
A program designed to provide therapeutic benefits of the barnyard atmosphere and services offered to both active duty military personnel and veterans who have been diagnosed with physical &/or mental challenges. Including immediate family members, as they are similarly affected.
Our animal program(s) can include certified animal therapists to assist and help those in need.
Pony experiences, activities and therapy information: ( For Little Buckaroos)
We offer several different programs and experiences with the ponies for littler buckaroos. (Adults, although you can not ride a small pony... we do offer unmounted and ground sessions with similar benefits!
EXPERIENCE AND INTERACT:
This experience gives children the opportunity to pet and ride a pony, for most it will be their first time. Children who ride ponies create balance, develops motor function, cognitive skills and builds core strength. These riding experiences are shorter and more of an introductory into the world of ponies.
EQUINE -ASSISTED ACTIVITIES: children can enjoy differenty types of activties; such as therapeutic riding, mounted or ground activities, grooming, stable management, horsemanship, etc., in which the center’s participants, volunteers, instructors and equines are involved in a manner that increases the safety of and benefit to the participant. The goal of the activity should be related to an equestrian skill.
EQUINE- ASSISTED THERAPY: involves a physical, occupational, or speech therapist, or their licensed assistant, with specific training in hippotherapy. These therapists use the equine (pony) as a "treatment strategy" during a portion of the therapy session, and the goal of treatment is to improve the client's function. ** At this time we will work with your current therapist during this session.
