Yet the greatest impact of our efforts is in the knowledge that everyone can make a difference – no matter age, education, or talents. Because of this philosophy, Storybook Farm continues to be a source of hope and joy to those in need of encouragement and uplifting.

What our parents are saying...

"I was very impressed with Storybook Farm when my son attended the summer session. The volunteers were very helpful and attentive to his concerns and fears. Dena was very knowledgeable about the horses and how to direct the volunteers to work with the children. Thank you Storybook Farm and Dena for providing this unique and wonderful experience for our children." --

"There are not enough words to describe our experience at Storybook. We were fortunate to get in shortly after the death of my husband. I remember the first session. I was glad that my children were given the opportunity to ride, but also sad that the reason we were here was due to a tremendous loss. The staff welcomed them by name and it was obvious that they truly cared for them. Dena is amazing and holds a very special place in our hearts! She has provided a safe place where kids can come and be kids and feel normal." --

"We love Storybook Farm! Love the special activities planed. Kim is awesome, the volunteers outstanding and everyone was so sweet, loving, caring towards our kids. We loved the library and checking out books! Thanks you , Thank you , Thank you for a wonderful experience. We look forward to riding again and participating in the other fun annual activities you all offer." --

"My daughter has been receiving therapy since she was 13 months old. She doesn't enjoy it anymore and wakes up every morning asking if she has therapy today. She LOVES coming to Storybook Farm and doesn't realize that it is therapy! Thank you so much for all your energy and dedication to this program. We love you and appreciate you letting us be a part of such a wonderful place! --

"Our son has been diagnosed with five overlapping diseases. During a physician's visit, we saw a pamphlet about Storybook Farm. He was thrilled at the possibility of riding so we called. The rest of the story is just a happy ending! Our son has benefited so much from the experience! It has allowed him physical exercise in a wonderful arena of fun and new friends. It has boosted his self-esteem and given him something to look forward to each week. The staff is always helpful, friendly and continually encouraging. We are very blessed by our involvement! May God continue to bless Storybook Farm! --

"My son just loved riding, the atmosphere, the animals, the volunteers and , of course, Tom Sawyer! He did learn new words and I'm sure the horsemanship was good for his hips/foot/posture. Emotionally it was great - Storybook was his special day!" ---
