As soon as I stepped into the equestrian facility, I felt a wave of warmth wash over me. The staff greeted me like an old friend, which instantly made me feel at ease. Volunteering in such a positive and therapeutic environment was a truly enriching experience. I had the chance to witness the incredible bond between the horses and their riders, especially during the therapeutic horseback riding sessions. Each interaction showcased not just the riders' progress, but also the joy and empowerment that came from every small victory. Being surrounded by the laughter and encouragement of everyone involved reminded me of the importance of community and support in our wellness journeys. Honestly, I left feeling uplifted and inspired, and I can't wait to return!

Without a doubt, one of the most rewarding experiences I've had was watching my daughter light up during her sessions. She’s always loved animals, but there’s something magical about being on horseback that transforms her spirit. The staff were awesome, making her feel comfortable and confident right from the start. Every time she rides, I can see her gaining not just skills, but joy and independence. It's the kind of place that sticks in your heart, filled with enthusiastic people who genuinely care. If you're looking for a place that combines fun with meaningful growth, this is it!

The moment I walked in, I could feel an energy in the air that was both calming and invigorating. I was a bit apprehensive about my visit since I've always had a little fear of horses, but the friendly staff made my experience so welcoming. During my barn visit in Howard Beach, I not only learned so much about horse care but also felt that apprehension start to fade away. Interacting with these magnificent animals was eye-opening, and I genuinely left with a sense of accomplishment. It was wonderful to gain the knowledge I needed to overcome my fears and connect with horses—not just as animals but as companions. If you're in the area and like animals, I highly recommend stopping by!
