Beyond the Horses

Small Animal Therapy

Sometimes the gentle weight of a rabbit, the curiosity of a duckling, the steady trust of a farm dog, or the quiet stillness of a bearded dragon opens a door that a horse can't quite reach. We offer animal-assisted sessions across the whole farm — small animals, the dog, and a dedicated reptile room — for children and adults who benefit from a closer, quieter kind of contact.

Who it's for

Children who feel overwhelmed by horses, anyone working through anxiety or sensory differences, and visitors who simply do better at ground level. Sometimes it's a first step on the way to riding — sometimes it's the whole story.

How a session works

Sessions are one-on-one or small group, hands-on with rabbits, ducks, and kittens; visits to the reptile room to meet the bearded dragon and the snake; and time with our gentle Maremma guardian dog. Moshe guides the interaction at the pace each visitor needs.
