Inspired by the comforting power of animals, Jasper Ridge Farm provides a special experience for people in need. Our goal is to bring unique experiences through therapeutic interaction with horses and gentle farm animals to children and adults who are facing physical and emotional challenges. We strive to enrich the lives of our clients through the comfort and unconditional acceptance that interacting with animals can provide for people. We provide all of our programs free of charge. Our programs focus on children with special needs or facing life threatening illness, families dealing with homelessness or domestic violence, youth struggling with mental health issues, veterans and active military, many of whom suffer from PTSD or traumatic brain injury, and incarcerated women.
