FOR THERAPISTS-
Farm Based Therapy Principles learn how to incorporate plants, animals, and especially horses, into the healing process.

Authentic Farm Care Experience
Pygmy goats, chickens, ducks, ponies, horses and other animals teach patience, kindness, and empathy. Planting and growing edibles and herbs connects us to the earth and grounds us in calming ways.

Licensed Therapists work with children and adults to support healing and growth using farm-based and animal-assisted psychotherapy.

Community Engagement
Opportunities for children, teens, adults & groups to volunteer on the farm enable the community to connect with nature and serve the non profit. Everyone benefits! The Rotary Club, Girl Scouts and local churches have all helped the Warm Springs Care Farm in unique ways.
