Help Change a Life

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

Dear Friend,

Thirty years ago two women, an equestrian and a physical therapist, had a dream: to share the unique healing power of horses with individuals who would benefit from the rhythmic and therapeutic movement of riding.

In the beginning each week a bus from the Special Education District of McHenry County would arrive at Main Stay Therapeutic Farm and, for the next two hours, 8 students would enjoy the freedom and therapeutic benefits of riding a horse.

2017 Riders Challenge

Horses have been helping humans throughout the centuries and this year's Riders Challenge will explore the many ways one of our favorite 4-legged friends have shared their gifts and spirit with us. Riders will learn about the Pony Express, farming and riding the Oregon Trail. The Riders Challenge is a fun way to raise funds with this year's donations going towards purchasing 2 new therapy horses. You can support one of our talented riders or dedicated volunteers with a donation in their honor. Contact the farm for a credit card payment or use the link below for a secure online payment.
