Storybook
Farm’s “Hope on Horseback” program is a blessing
to families, staff, and volunteers. The physical and emotional
benefits are numerous. 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!" --- |
