Equine Rescue, Rehabilitation & Training
We have helped horses with significant medical issues as young as 2 months and as old as 25 years. Wishes (to the left) came to us with pnuemonia. He was not terribly cooperative with his oral antibiotic which had to be administered 4 times each day. Our vet cautioned us not to get our hopes up, but HOPE IS WHAT WE DO. Wishes is a happy, healthy 2 year old today and is in training here at SFES.
Equine-Assisted Services & Learning
SFES's Executive Director, a former licensed Special Education Teacher and Behavior Specialist and the team here, provide one-on-one support to help those with disabilities experience equine and farm animals. AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, directly support IEP or ISP goals through equine activities. We charge a small fee ($25 hourly) for 1:1 experiences. There is no charge for an individual with a disability to join us as a "supported" volunteer.
Community Service Program
We have volunteers who need documented Community Service. Some have work requirements, others have school requirements. Some have court ordered requirements. Many have never been around horses but they learn. Some of our long term volunteers began that way, fall in love with horses and continue to come. All are welcome and we need the help!
Help Us Help Them
SFES is 100% volunteer. No one here is paid. 100% of donations are used to DIRECTLY support our equine via feed, hay and medical costs!!!!!
