Ironstone Farm: Employing horses in a working farm environment, Ironstone Farm provides beneficial therapy for people with a wide range of physical, emotional and cognitive disabilities. The two primary programs are Challenge Unlimited and Ironstone Therapy – both using the horse’s unique ability to enhance a person’s movements and touch a person’s heart, inspiring strength, hope and encouragement. The farm’s professional staff of over 20 licensed instructors and therapists work with about 30 program horses and about 200 volunteers to serve about 450 children and adults each week, year round. Coming from more than 90 cities and towns throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire, participants enjoy the aesthetic beauty of the farm while receiving valuable therapy in collaboration with other service providers to best address their physical and emotional needs.
Challenge Unlimited: Our varied programs are helping children and adults with disabilities, veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, individuals with cancer, seniors with memory impairment, teens at risk, people in recovery from addiction and families in need throughout our local community and inner cities. All of these populations include individuals whose lives have been challenged – resulting from birth or through the influences of our environment. Ironstone Farm, our talented team, dedicated volunteers, along with a herd of 32 horses, directly influence their lives in a profound way every day.
