"Our son has made incredible progress in adaptive riding. His occupational therapist even commented on it and asked us what change we had made. He looks forward to coming every week. We love seeing the confidence it has given him."

"Our son has benefited so much from therapeutic riding at Laughing Buck. LB has been a ray of positive light during this pandemic for him. The instructor he works with is amazing, receptive and really "gets him". He comes home refreshed and energized from his time at the farm. We can also see our son making strides in his social-emotional development, physical awareness and empathy as a result of his work at LB. There is no question in our minds that joining the horses and instructors at Laughing Buck is one of the best decisions we could have made for our son."
Thanks both of you!!

“The lessons have helped my son to improve his focus and balance while enjoying the activity. His connection with the horse has improved his confidence and self awareness. It’s incredible how much joy these creatures can give to humans. On the other side,  watching the class surrounded by the farm vibe while sitting under a tree is the highlight of my week. “

“My son has worked with both Amy and Rachel for adaptive riding lessons, and in just two sessions he has made more progress than in the previous seven years of therapeutic riding. He has gone from passively sitting on the horse to leading the horse independently around the ring, trotting on a pad and a saddle, and working on his two-point for trotting. The instructors have taught him to groom and tack up the horse as well, and we couldn’t be happier with his growing independence and confidence with the horse.   He is also better able to understand and follow directions and communicate his needs and preferences while riding. “
