Let me introduce you to Wonderhill Farm
Holly Carlile, the founder and Executive Director, has been a member of this community for a very long time and has been working with horses her entire life. For the longest time, she taught most of the children in Washington County how to ride. But then she discovered that there was a real need for therapeutic riding for the developmentally disabled. So she set out to become qualified to offer what is called “hippotherapy” or what is also known as therapeutic riding. The results have been astounding – kids progressing beyond what many thought was possible. Then we started offering group therapy to faithbased groups in a mental health setting a little over a year ago, and the feedback has been extraordinary. And now we are expanding further into mental health work with Equine Therapists, which will focus on veterans, first responders, and their families. However no one in need will be turned away. We want to remove the barriers to mental health and hippotherapy services. All of this is in addition to the expertise and facilities to board, train, and rehabilitate horses and act as an equine sanctuary.
