Therapeutic Riding
Morning Star Farm announces their “Therapeutic Horseback Riding Program” is now available to the families of our community. Equine Assist Programs produce favorable results in Riders of all ages and is most effective in the nature of physical, mental and social development. The partnership formed between the horse or pony and rider is very beneficial. This Program is fun, safe and healthy, with a focus on the abilities as well as special needs of the rider.

Once the rider is determined and committed to continue riding on a regular basis, proper riding boots are of the utmost importance and should be pruchased soon there after.

Trails to Healing

HUNT SEAT EQUITATION

An equine (horse) based program for children who have either suffered the loss of a parent, grandparent, sibling, friend, etc. or who are victims of bullying. The program, run by Judy Heim @ Morningstar Farm, offers children the opportunity to spend time learning how to groom and ride a horse. It is felt that the bond between an animal and a human is indescribable and, as children who are healing, the relationship may offer them an outlet for grief, not found elsewhere. Please e-mail us at morningstarfarm1@yahoo.com or phone  973.222-8260 describing the situation the child is going through, along with your name (guardian/parent), contact phone numbers and an e-mail.
