Friendship Farm
Reaching out to others through interaction with horses.

Friendship Farm offers horsemanship and riding instruction to anyone with an interest in horses.  The focus is always enjoyment and safety. Instruction is private (one to one) and individualized to the student based upon personal goals and interests.  We specialize in providing personalized instruction to individuals with physical, behavioral, mental health and cognitive challenges.
