At The Barnyard Foundation, we are dedicated to offering therapeutic and interactive animal-assisted services that foster healing and connection. With over 20 years of experience, we provide a variety of programs such as traveling petting zoos, animal-assisted therapy, horseback riding lessons, and a sanctuary for rescued farm animals. Our services cater to individuals of all ages, including veterans, children with special needs, and seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia. We focus on creating meaningful interactions that promote emotional, mental, and physical well-being, all guided by our passion for animals and their unique ability to enhance lives.
