“My son has Autism Spectrum Disorder, as a family we felt hopeless as to where to turn for resources to help him get the services he needed to reach his full potential.  The programs at Shepard Meadows have
been life changing.”

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!
