MICHELLE- PARENT

De la Cruz Farm has been a tremendous blessing to our family. Our 5 year old was born very early, at 23 weeks, and has Cerebral Palsy as a result. He is able to ride therapy horses at de la Cruz and I have noticed a great difference in his core strength and balance when he rides. He also loves to look at and sit on the tractor and big lawn mower! 

In addition to our 5 year old, we also have an 8 year old and 11 year old who love to ride. They have gained confidence and learned many things about horses. They also enjoy the Bible lesson so graciously provided by the volunteers.   As a mom, I feel that de la Cruz is a safe place for my kids to learn about riding and caring for the horses and other animals. I know that the staff pays attention to their physical safety as well as keeping everything child friendly. Ms. Bethany is very patient and willingly answers the seemingly endless questions from my kids! I can tell the staff genuinely love my children.  Every time we visit de la Cruz none of us want to leave! We always take a few extra minutes to love on the horses, sheep, chickens, and cow! All in all de la Cruz has been such a blessing to our family. We are so thankful for the people who work so diligently to provide a place like De la Cruz Farm.
