Everyone Can Ride and Partner with Horses!

Brook Hill Farm’s Rockin’ Riders program is held in an inclusive community-based setting.  The participants are taught riding and horsemanship skills in a social environment with volunteers and friends.

The Rockin Rider experience aids in promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being. As a Premier Accredited Center of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH Intl.), we follow strict guidelines for safety, horse care, business and ethical standards. The Rockin’ Riders Program pairs participants with rescue horses to work on developing riding skills and independence.

The farm is ADA compliant, and we can accommodate people with physical disabilities, allowing them to ride and enjoy the horses.
