Welcome to Pine Lake Pastures

Barn LogoPine Lake Pastures is a farm dedicated to helping people and animals heal and grow.  We offer horseback riding lessons, therapeutic riding for special need individuals, 4H clinics, and equine-assisted consulations for businesses. Many of our horses come from rescue situations.  Rescues are given proper medical care, then they are trained for our therapy riding program, lesson program, or adopted out to life time family.  Our Free Therapy program is open to anyone, any age! We work with special needs of varying degrees. Our lesson program is based on Centered/Balanced riding and is available for beginners thru advanced adults. Pine Lake Pastures is the Wisconsin Home of the Personal Pony program that is a nonprofit organization dedicated to giving Special needs children a pair of ponies at no charge.

LESSON TIMES: WISH LIST FOR FARM

 Riding Lesson Schedule:  http://www.pinelakepastures.com/node/14

WISH LIST-
  • Hay- buy a bale at $3.75, or buy a load of hay $600. Or anything inbetween- Year round we go thru 2500 bales of hay. Know a farm that can help us with a deal? email me.
  • Round Pen- We are currently borrowing the Therapeutic riding arena "round pen", a new one will cost around $2000. Please think about donating a "panel", gate, or portion of the new round pen. Our current one will be leaving soon...
  • Skidster to move manure- this would also allow us to purchase round bales and save money for some pastures.
  • plastic storage containers for Winter blankets- slip under the bed containers- see thru.
  • Oil Saddles- rainy day, nothing to do? Stop by the tack room and oil a saddle or two. It's actually good arm exercise and our tack needs your TLC. We have the oil.
  • Arab Cut saddle- We are in need of one more saddle.
  • Students for lessons-  refer our farm for lessons and if they purchase 10 lessons, you get a free lesson.

 Pine Lake Pastures offers FREE therapy riding to children and adults with special needs. A session lasts about an hour, and siblings  (must be supervised by the parent) are welcome to come and visit the farm while their sister/brother ride in a session.

Riders will be lead around in our outdoor or indoor arena by a volunteer. Parents are welcome to watch . We have volunteers that ride behind young people that can not hold themselves up.

 

What is Hippotherapy? Hippotherapy is a treatment that uses the multidimensional movement of the horse; from the Greek word "hippos" which means horse. Historically, the therapeutic benefits of the horse were recognized as early as 460 BC. The use of the horse as therapy evolved throughout Europe, the United States and Canada.
