On-site Programs
"Joyful Encounters" Gypsy Magic Equine Outreach Programs
With Stacy Sutton Equine Program Professional and Roxanne Bishop
How do the At-Farm Outreach Programs work?
Off-site group coordinators are invited to Contact Us to discuss the details any any special needs of the group wanting to visit us. We then set a farm visit date with the center. We bring out a few horses for a meet and greet in our covered arena location during mild weather and allow the visitors to learn about and gently interact with the horses. These sorts of visits usually last 1 hour or so. We never rush anyone through a visit, and we allow the horses to share their wonderful “Gypsy Magic” with the visitors. Our equine ambassador Yahtzee is a registered Pet Partners animal therapy horse. Our newest Pet Partners candidates Ri D Croi and Bentley will be tested in 2021.

Elder Care Center At-Farm Visits
Our team invites mobile-able local senior nursing homes and assisted living centers to visit us at the farm for joyful in-person encounters for seniors with our Gypsy Horses.
Therapeutic equine encounters have proven to be a powerful antidote for feelings of loneliness, dependency, and isolation often experienced by seniors who are unable to live in their own homes or with family members. This unique outing to the country is designed to be a gentle and joyful experience. Attendees are encouraged to visit with the horses, take a little guided tour around the farm, and stroll through the Gypsy Magic Garden. Often times, seeing the horses and visiting the farm reminds people of their lives, and they start to share the most amazing stories. It is a wonderful and magical experience for everyone in attendance.

Children's hospital and/or Home At-Farm visits
We invite our local Children hospital groups to visit the Gypsy Magic horses at our location for a few hours of fun. These visits prove to be a therapeutic way for the kids to spend a few hours connecting with the horses and visit the countryside.
Easter Seals At Farm Visits
We invite our local Easter Seals groups to visit the Gypsy Magic horses at our location for a few hours of fun. We also invite Easter Seals members to participate in the Gypsy Magic garden project.

The Gypsy Magic Community Garden Project
The Gypsy Magic Community Garden Project is a "small but mighty" community-based garden used for health benefits on many levels. The garden is a focus point of several of our programs. It provides food, a place of learning, growth and giving back. Several programs are offered and held in the garden and it has been thoughtfully designed to be accessible for disabled visitors.

Equine Assisted Coaching Program
Starting in Summer 2021
Equine Assisted Coaching Program (EAC) is based out of our facility and guided by International Life Coach David Rude. EAC allows participant's a unique environment and experience that promotes physical, occupational, and emotional growth through meaningful engagement with horses. EAC involves non-riding human and horse interactions from the ground with the coach as a facilitator. These sessions guide participants on a journey of learning and understanding and individuals are encouraged to transfer the experiences they've had with the horses into their personal and professional lives.
