Bringing Sensory Therapy to Children with Special Needs
Therapeutic riding sessions at The Village Farm provide children with the opportunity to build strength, coordination, and confidence while forming deep connections with horses. Each session engages both body and mind through gentle movement, balance, and cooperative activities that promote emotional regulation and self-esteem. Beyond riding, participants also care for and interact with other farm animals—such as goats, sheep, ducks, and bunnies—allowing for a holistic experience that nurtures calmness, empathy, and responsibility. The bond between children and animals fosters healing, growth, and an enduring sense of accomplishment.
Animal interaction experiences at The Village Farm invite participants to connect with goats, sheep, bunnies, ducks, and horses in a welcoming, hands-on environment. In partnership with The Beyond Limits Care Foundation, this program encourages children and community groups to discover the joys of animal care while gaining confidence, empathy, and emotional awareness. Through meaningful engagement with the animals and the natural surroundings, participants experience healing, relaxation, and personal growth that extend far beyond the farm grounds.
Through the support of local donors, schools, and organizations, our fully funded programs expand access to transformative therapeutic experiences for individuals and communities across the region. These partnerships make it possible to reach more participants, creating opportunities for healing and growth through farm-based activities. By connecting people of all abilities with the restorative power of nature and animal connection, we help foster confidence, inclusion, and meaningful relationships in uplifting outdoor environments.
