"Before this program came into my children’s lives they were struggling, and I was struggling with how to support and help them. Now they are steadily improving and finding their way into a life that gives them choices and possibilities. The adaptive horse therapy program at Laughing Buck Farm has been the most game-changing experience for them both. I am eternally grateful."
- Scholarship recipient
My younger child received a scholarship through the nonprofit. Through his work with the horses he has grown his ability to self-regulate and verbalize what is happening for him when he struggles. His self confidence has increased by a huge amount. Through this as well as occupational therapy his vestibular system has matured making his physical coordination improve dramatically.
-Scholarship recipient
As a low income family of five, we struggle to find enrichment activities for our kids. Our youngest asks daily for farm class and she has already assured us she will work "super good" to care for the animals, especially Rosie the pig. It would mean the world to us to receive a scholarship.
-Scholarship recipient
Buck Farm has established a scholarship fund to support riders with demonstrated need. Would you like to make a difference and sponsor a child for therapeutic riding lessons or outdoor farm classes? Many families are struggling financially and your donation will really help.
Our goal, with YOUR help, is to offer at least one scholarship spot in each of our classes. We appreciate your support to keep our programs accessible to as many local children as possible! When you donate for a scholarship, 100% of your donation goes to the scholarship fund. We are waitlisted for scholarships so your support is needed!
