"Amazing
Acres is a beautiful farm where miracles happen and dreams become
reality through love, faith, patience and acceptance."
Amazing Acres offers
Therapeutic horseback riding lessons to adults and children with all
types of special needs. Amazing Acres would like to invite
individuals or groups to the farm that have not had the opportunity
to experience the wonderful benefits of nature and animals. A
donation for this service would be deeply appreciated to assist with
the special needs program, but is not mandatory. Amazing Acres does
provide beginner horsemanship/riding instruction for able bodies as
a fundraiser for special needs program. For individuals that are not
able to ride horses, Amazing Acres has other farm animals available
for therapy.
The program for special needs
has been formulated with an emphasis on the development of
educational and social skills as well as basic riding skills.
Horseback riding promotes the improvement in reflex muscle activity,
eye-hand coordination, and balance and equilibrium reactions as well
as instill self-confidence, and gives the student a real sense of
accomplishment and personal success.
Visits to the farm are free,
but any donation would be greatly appreciated. To learn more
about the program or to schedule an appointment, please call (386)
