Review for Halleck Creek Ranch Therapeutic Riding and Equine Assisted Activities, Nicasio, CA, USA
Halleck Creek offers so much to the disabled and their families. My autistic son has been riding there for six years, and it has been the only activity where he was easily accepted. We tried other activities but nothing even comes close to the joy of our Saturdays at Halleck Creek.
My son loves his weekly unique experience with horses in the great outdoors of West Marin. The setting is completely wholesome and natural, and the staff and volunteers are really a unique group of down-to-earth, caring people (and everyone has a sense of humor!) I'm constantly amazed at how effectively and safely they make horseback riding available to people with all kinds of disabilities. The pride and smiling faces of the riders really says it all (check out their website for photos!)
Also, my younger daughter has made many strong friendships with other siblings out at the ranch and gets to help tend the goats and animals and enjoy a safe outdoors environment. I have made friends with other parents, and our picnic lunch out there with the families and volunteers is my support group!
Come out to the ranch and check it out! You'll be amazed!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the riding program (my son rides), being a volunteer who is trained to lead horses on the trail, a warm outdoors family experience for everyone.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
help them to raise more money!
