I started out as a volunteer because I love working with kids and horses. This program really helps kids. It helps some with physical problems to get confidence and helps them with balance that they thought they maybe could not ever do. We work with a lot of kids with autism. They will form a connection with horses that helps bring them. We were able to do these one on one sessions with out charging but prices going up and the pandemic we had to start charging a small fee. I hope we can keep this great program going it has helped so many kids.
The care of horses and of the kids is so exceptional at Owl Hollow Farm. Everyone involved with this program truly loves the animals and the kids and they take many hours out of their personal time to make sure horses and children are matched and can grow together. I cannot say enough about the love and the good spirit of this place
I only recently discovered Owl Hollow Farm and I have yet to be anything less than thoroughly impressed with every aspect of how they run this non-profit ministry. They rescue abused and neglected horses, and fit them with the indispensable purpose of ministering to hurting and special needs children. Kids come weekly for several weeks per session to learn horsemanship and riding. You can just see the joy on the faces of Bob & Cathy, OHF's owners, and all of their staff and volunteers, not to mention the parents and kids who receive the benefits of their services. I have yet to see a single person that is not happy to be there! Every single time. God's hand of blessing is on this ministry and I encourage anyone with a love of horses or children to find a way to donate and/or get involved.
I work with the woman who is the owner and she is absolutely dedicated to helping others through her horse therapy farm. The children learn responsibility, empathy, hard work, and improved self esteem, as well as simply the feeling of love and enjoyment!
I find it a previledge to direct this children's charity. From the beginning of it's inception this program has been blessed with donars and volunters. I love seeing the joy in the children and volunteers as they work together during mentoring sessions. We have been so greatly blessed to serve.
I'm a mentor/volunteer. I love what WE do for the children & the horses. It's the best feeling......watching the kids come to life when they're around the horses. They smile & laugh - a lot! They learn to listen, follow directions, care for, groom & ride the horses. But most of all, they know we care about them and we love what we do.
