From Our Clients & Volunteers
"I appreciate the chance to be around horses again. In many ways I'm here for the same reasons all the clients are: the wisdom, nurture and peace horses provide to my very soul, and I enjoy meeting people who share my love for horses!" - Silvia
"Our daughter & Onyx formed a bond beyond anything we had ever seen. Onyx would just drop his head so she could hug him & hold onto him. If you ever just looked into his eyes you might get a sense of what he is about. I think it was Onyx who adopted us and he most certainly changed our lives for the best.” - Anonymous
“At Topfield, our son has a special connection with the horses and feels accomplished and capable. We have watched as he has progressed from needing the support of two sidewalkers to keep his feet in the stirrups to his amazing demonstration of independent horsemanship. Today he uses the riding skills he has learned at Topfield to navigate through obstacles and planning ahead all on his own.” - Rebecca
"Volunteering at Topfield has been grounding, joyful, and unexpectedly fulfilling. There’s a peacefulness in the wide-open spaces of the property, the meditative rhythm of walking alongside these majestic animals, and the quiet, nuanced connection that forms. But it’s not always quiet, and that’s part of the magic, too.There’s laughter, conversation, and moments of genuine connection with the clients." - Leslie
“Topfield Equestrian is the best experience for anyone who could use a little horse therapy! My daughter has volunteered here for 4 years, and my son, who has Down syndrome and autism, has been a client/rider for 3. He LOVES it. The horses are gentle, the staff is professional and safe, and they provide such a wonderful service. The facilities are absolutely beautiful. Try it out for therapeutic riding, grooming, horse love, etc. You will not regret it! We also get reimbursed through Medicaid Self Direction.” - Lisa
