We want to continue to spread the word that we are here to serve the Newberg Community and anyone else in need of ” farm animal therapy”. By loving and handling our animals, one can find peace and heal from life’s problems and struggles. Our menagerie of over 43 horses, 4 miniature horses, 3 foals, a pony named Mona Lisa, 2 llama’s Dash and Maggie, a sheep named Myla, 18 Pygmy goats, 4 Nubian goats, dozens of bunnies and special birds in our bird sanctuary, are all part of our “imprinted animals” that help humans heal and find the peace they need to cope with life. Many of these horses and animals were abused and neglected animals themselves, who we adopted into our rescue program and now use for therapy. Our pictures tell our story: Enjoy and visit us soon.
