Touchstone Farm

I absolutely love Touchstone Farm! This has been life changing and life affirming for my daughter. She was being bullied at school and the apartment complex where we live and became extremely withdrawn and was self-harming herself. She would not talk to anyone or make eye contact. We received a scholarship for one-on-one horse riding lessons and from the first lesson, I noticed a huge difference. We are now on our 7th lesson and my daughter is almost back to who she used to be before the bullying. She makes eye contact, she is seeking out conversations with our family, she is laughing and smiling more and is engaging in life. She loves the horses, especially Gretzky and Ms. Carrie and Mr. John have been a god-send. They have been so wonderful encouraging her, doling out huge amounts of positive praise and making the lesson safe, fun, and engaging for her. I love watching her ride, she sits up straight, looks ahead, she smiles and laughs. She looks so much more confident in tending to the horses and when she rides and this shows outside of her lessons. So many times it has brought tears to my eyes watching her come out of her shell and do things we once took for granted. To me these lessons have been our miracle. Every single person we have encountered on the farm has been warm, welcoming, and super nice and helpful. They have a deep love of the horses and love to share this love with everyone. I am so grateful and do not have enough kind words to say about Touchstone Farm. I cannot recommend them enough for this gift they have given us.

I've been taking riding lessons here for almost a year now, and after some pretty difficult experiences at other barns, I really connected with the place immediately. It's a gorgeous farm full of wonderful people who genuinely love the horses and helping out there. I've become a lot more comfortable there and highly recommend the farm for therapeutic riding, lessons, volunteering, or any of the other opportunities they offer at Touchstone <3

Touchstone Farm is a remarkable place for all ages to experience riding, driving or a relaxing day on a farm. Their transformational work for individuals that have disabilities and our returning veterans is truly a joy to see. Hearing from the young women who experience pony camp and are now second and third generations who have attended is again a joy and puts a smile on my face every time! Hearing from the volunteers who just love horses and come to "work" just because they love it --- really fun! A very engaging, professional and positive staff! Check it out!

I’ve been riding at Touchstone for years and can’t recommend this place enough! The lesson program is full of dedicated and inspiring trainers as well as some of the sweetest and most hardworking ponies, and camp has given me some of my favorite memories! Everyone is so friendly and supportive there, if I could give more than five stars I would!

I just attended an event for Touchstone Farm and was so excited to learn about their good work and programs. It's been a long time since I was a camper and then Counselor at Camp. It was great to hear from Boo and meet some of the amazing staff, volunteers, campers and clients that make up the farm family. I highly recommend Touchstone Farm!

I could not be more thrilled that we have discovered Touchstone Farm. We just discovered the farm in the past year and it has quickly turned into my daughter's most favorite place to be. She started to take lessons with Andi for riding and Pam for vaulting through her organization, Renaissance Farm Vaulting Club, operated out of the Farm. My daughter attended three weeks of Pony Farm camp last summer and is eagerly counting down the days until her first session this year, which will kick off her FIVE weeks of living on the farm this summer. Our first experience was attending a Spring Fling event in May of 2016 and we felt welcomed immediately into the farm family. In December of 2016, we attended Mother/Daughter weekend during a snow storm - it was truly magical to be there with all of the other mothers and daughters - many girls of which my daughter met over the summer at camp. Beyond being a participant in a variety of lessons on the Farm and camp, my daughter has also had the opportunity to become a volunteer with Horse Power, Peanut Lessons and any other assistance they need on the farm between her lessons. I appreciate the opportunity and experience this gives her, beyond the skills and confidence she gains through riding and vaulting. My only wish is that we had discovered the farm years earlier! It is a piece of heaven on Earth!

I started riding at Touchstone when I was 5. I am now 11 and can't wait for summer camp!! Touchstone has always been a huge part of my life, I go there every summer and all the staff are so nice and ready to help with anything you need. I hope to be able to continue going to summer camp and then eventually become a CIT!!

My family is very fortunate to have found Touchstone Farm and Ponyfarm camp. My niece and daughter are counting the days until summer camp starts. I am grateful for all the programs that Touchstone Farm has to offer.

This place is awesome. I'm in my late 20's and decided I wanted to learn to ride. They were very patient and accommodating from the get go, answering my million questions and making sure I was comfortable with everything. Andi is stellar and all of the staff are nice and friendly, making time to say hello, even though they're all really busy all the time. Overall it's been an excellent experience. I've been going for the past 5 months and I plan on continuing for the foreseeable future.

My daughter attended Touchstone Summer Camp for many years, it was her first overnight camp, a very special place, she made life long friends and has some amazing memories!!!

I have been involved with Touchstone Farm since 1978. What a wonderful place. Their programs help so many people in the community.

AWESOME best experience of life and helped me and my wife reconnect. The staff is awesome and they way they teach u with horses and goats and tiny horses is relaxing and they make u feel like you can do it

i have had the blessing of working with the Owner of Touchstone Farm and could not have asked for a more, cooperative, collaborative, encouraging, and support community partner. Thank you Boo, for being you.

Fabulous and caring staff. A variety of activities including riding, carriage handling, mini horses and donkeys, goats, sheep and quilting. All 👍

We had a WONDERFUL time at mother Daughter weekend so my daughter decided to give camp a try and LOVED it.

One of the most fun experiences I have had!

Great place full of fun and wonderful people!
