The horses are our "working partners." We provide a wide range of safety-conscious programs at our facility, as well as other locations, to over 80 schools, agencies and organizations. Our students’ success is achieved largely through the relationship with the horse; he is non-judgmental, provides immediate feedback and, as a subject, offers unlimited possibilities to grow mentally, physically and emotionally.

Little Dash gets new shoes. He tried out the hoof stand and did fine but he's quite sensitive to loud noises. The hammering upset him, so, we used cotton in his ears and treats to distract him. Educational Programs, New Shoes, Ears, Cotton, Ear

Inner-city first graders spend the day at Little Brook Farm. Every child got to watch a riding demonstration, groom and ride a horse, participate in stable management practices (cleaning stalls, feeding horses, etc), clean tack, construct and play in a hay tunnel, watch the farrier trim hooves, have a picnic lunch, meet the newest rescue horses and learn about equine welfare, AND go on a hike! It was an exhausting, but wonderful day for all involved!
