Sensory Farm
Learn to help take care of mini animals on the farm. Target social skills and group skills by helping each other complete tasks such as: grooming, feeding, riding, and walking the animals.
Did you know that when children interact with animals, they build the all-importnt senses of connection, empathy, and caring? Caring for a pet instills respect for life and an awareness of the needs of others as well as giving children an understanding of how their behavior can affect others.

Parties
Parties are FUN! Especially when the party animals are invited! Parents love the pony rides and petting zoo combo for birthday parties. It gets the kids out of the house and provides entertainment for any age group. Children get to feed the animals while they wait in line for as many pony rides as they want. The pony can even dress up to match the theme of the party if requested beforehand.

Pony Riding Lessons
Pony Lessons are for individuals that are 80 lbs or smaller.
Lessons go as follows: Start with connecting with the pony by: brushing the pony, walking with the pony, giving treats, etc. Then we will start riding. Clients will first be led by staff. As they progress they will be taught how to communicate with the pony. Finally, they will ride with a side walker where they will do all of the steering but will have a person beside them for safety.
All lessons will be uniquely designed to cater to the client's needs.
$50 an hour per child. (80 lbs or smaller)

Join our Sponsors Program!
Would you like to sponsor a client in their therapeutic services?
There are individuals in the community that would benefit greatly from Equine Therapy, but not many have the financial circumstances to cover the cost. Being a sponsor is a great way to give back to your community and make a positive impact on a person's life!
Looking for ways to Donate? Give to a Good Cause!
Would you like to give to a good cause?
Being a Non-Profit organization requires donations and assistance from the community. At Harbor Hooves Farm, we are striving to create a therapeutic atmosphere to serve our community members who have a disability. This population often misses out on everyday leisure and recreational activities due to a lack of adaptiveness. With the help of substantial financial support, we will be able to serve our community in a safe and loving environment with animals that are trained and able to provide adaptive support.
The money donated will go towards: Building a barn for the farm animals, purchasing well-trained horses, purchasing adaptive riding gear, purchasing saddles, halters, leads, feed, paying and training staff, etc.
