Equine Therapy Services

At Dragonfly Farms, our Equine Therapy Program is dedicated to providing specialized riding lessons designed for students with autism. These lessons focus on building confidence, improving social skills, and enhancing sensory processing through the unique bond that forms between horses and their riders. Horses offer a calming and supportive environment, helping students to develop important life skills while also experiencing the joy of riding. Our coaches are not only highly experienced but deeply passionate about helping children and teens, and they have witnessed time and time again the incredible, transformative impact that working with horses can have on their lives.

In addition to our autism therapy program, we also offer a wide range of workshops throughout the year centered around communication, empowerment, and emotional support. These workshops provide participants with a safe, nurturing space to explore personal growth, develop new skills, and build connections with both the horses and others in the group. The healing presence of horses brings a unique dynamic to these sessions, offering emotional support and comfort.

We are also honored to be a host farm for some of the most respected therapists in our community. Professionals like Larissa Gardner of Gardner Psychotherapy Services and Sharlene Hamilton of Interactive Counselling offer sessions at our farm, providing even more opportunities for people to benefit from equine-assisted therapy. Collaborating with such dedicated therapists allows us to extend our reach and support mental health and wellness in truly meaningful ways.
