WITH HORSES, MAKING FORWARD STRIDES

Shepard Meadows is a 501(c) (3) non-profit corporation located on a tranquil 26 acre farm in Bristol, CT with the mission to support the growth and well-being of all individuals, including those with special needs, by providing Equine-Assisted Services (EAS) in a safe, caring and professional environment.

Shepard Meadows is a very special place. We are unique in our programming, providing a variety of services to meet individual needs in a non-traditional and innovative way. Our services are important and often life-changing, all in partnership with our therapy horses. Our vision is to bring the peace and tranquility of our farm into the lives of our participants and their families who visit us. Program revenue is one-third of the actual cost of running the farm and caring for our therapy herd. We couldn't operate without the help of individual donors and foundational support. Your support is important to us. Please consider donating today!

Your gift makes an everlasting difference!
