Our horses are helping our students reach goals they never imagined. Lily Creek Farms is a therapeutic riding center that recently relocated to Napoleon, Ohio. We have a professional team providing hope and healing opportunities through the use of equine-assisted activities.

We have seen firsthand how working with a 1,500 pound animal and gaining its trust increases a person's self-confidence, self-respect, and sense of responsibility and belonging. The farm is place where people of all ages benefit physically, cognitively, and emotionally from a wide variety of horse experiences tailored to their needs by our horses, instructors, and volunteers.

At Lily Creek Farms, little victories happen every day. A 10-year-old with Autism speaks his first words, "Walk On" to his horse after only two sessions. A 13-year-old in a wheelchair rides independently after only a few weeks. Adult students with MS reduce pain and increase flexibility. At risk youth turn failing grades to honor roll and go on to careers and colleges. These moments are beyond words and remind us again that our philosophy is true... Faith, Hope, and Love, but the greatest of these is Love!

We offer professional instructors, caring volunteers, and gentle horses. Our human-animal team provides rewarding and breakthrough experiences to improve the quality of our client's lives.

No other therapeutic recreational activity provides so many benefits in such a holistic manner. We have worked with and have witnessed results in people of many ages and abilities.

Students learn confidence, build strength, balance, and coordination along with gaining a sense of independence and freedom from his or her disabilities. We feel blessed to experience little miracles every day!

Our Programs:

Therapeutic Riding Our riding sessions incorporate a wide range of goals into each session. Students ride weekly in small groups or individual sessions if needed.

Horsin' Around Field Trips These programs run anywhere from 2 hours to a full-day of farm fun including art activities, horse care, riding, and even meals. Horsin' Around programs are custom-designed for any school, senior, veteran, or community organization.

Veterans Programs We offer specialized programming for veterans and their families. These programs include riding and unmounted classes designed to help with the emotional and physical scars of military services.

Team Lily This is our traveling team consisting of a mini horse, mini pig, farm therapy dog, and sometimes our horse and carriage team. Our team visits local community events, senior centers, and other community organizations.

Vocational and Life Skills Development Programs We offer a unique program designed to help individuals gain valuable job and life skills in a supportive and hands-on environment. Participants work directly with our horses, or in the market or orchard learning skills that foster responsibility, teamwork, and personal growth.
