Review for The Carriage Barn Equine Adaptive Therapy Program< Inc., Kensington, NH, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a proud volunteer at The Carriage Barn. My 'barn day' is my favorite day of the week! I started volunteering at the Barn in August 2016. My goal was simply to help somewhere... and to hang out with horses!
I had no idea how this would work out.
My children like horses, so I've been around a number of barns. This one is different. It is special. The barn rules are simple: respect and love these incredible horses, accept one another, and above all - be safe.

That explains this barn and its programs to a 'T'. It's a growing family.

My job is to do whatever Ann asks me to do - as long as I am comfortable with the task. I have walked alongside quadriplegics to ensure their safety. I have ridden in carriages to be the hands that some don't have use of... I have mucked stalls, groomed, and turned out horses. If I need help, it is always there.

I am thrilled. I get to do everything that I had hoped to do - and more!!

The Carriage Barn is home. Everyone is welcomed at the door, and is on equal footing (no matter if it be feet, wheels, etc.!). It is the epitome of a judgement-free zone!
I am so thankful to have found such a welcoming haven ...
