Our programs cultivate the unique bond between horses and people to promote improvements in physical, cognitive and emotional health. Our PATH certified and trained instructors work with children and adults living with special needs, disabilities, and other conditions, providing personalized lessons and goals to help them achieve their personal best.
We serve individuals with a wide range of special needs, including:
Equine-assisted services can help in the management of diverse behavioral health issues, such as:
Programs go beyond horseback riding lessons, featuring a personalized schedule of inclusive activities that may include caring for our specially trained horses, grooming them, or simply observing and interacting with them.
Current rates are $66 per group lesson and $90 per private lesson. Tuition is used to defray the cost of operating expenses and is charged as a flat, non-refundable fee.
We offer a Monthly Payment Plan to help our clients meet the cost of tuition (not available for the summer session).
Please Note: Some insurance providers may reimburse participants for a portion of tuition fees, but we do not contact or bill them directly. Payment must be paid prior to the start of each program and participants and their families must apply for reimbursement through their provider.

Once a Participant Registration Form (available here) has been submitted, the information will be reviewed by our staff to determine whether Strongwater’s programs may be a good fit for the client’s needs and goals. Enrollment depends on both need and availability of resources.
Prior to enrollment, an in-person assessment of each applicant’s goals, abilities and comfort level helps confirm whether our services are a good fit.
It also provides a framework for the development of programming that fits their unique needs, and helps us determine whether a participant will learn best in a group or private setting.
There is a $50 Assessment Fee, payable at the time of the assessment.

Strongwater Farm regularly hosts seniors from residential communities such as Fairview Senior Living in Hudson, New Hampshire, whose residents enjoy grooming, petting and interacting with our horses in a supportive, supervised environment.
Research has shown that Equine-Assisted Services can be especially beneficial to individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Time spent with horses can help reduce stress levels, improve memory and sleep, and boost mood. Studies have also documented an overall decrease in negative behaviors and improved communication between patients and caregivers.
