9/7/17: At the picturesque Water Tower Farm in Marshfield, horses and riders mingle. Some riders put aside canes and wheelchairs before mounting the massive animals with the assistance of a motorized lift.
Founder Dianne Lashoones is a physical therapist who uses equine therapy to assist people with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. Last Thursday afternoon, Eva met three riders whose lives have changed after spending time with these gentle giants.

Thank you for the wonderful work of this special program. I’m thrilled to see my friend Kathryne doing so well!!!
Thank you for all the great help your giving . My grand daughter, Lily Stilwell, is one of your riders. You are doing a awesome job in getting her back to her old self again. She has always been active and the accident has taken that away from her. But we all know that when one door closes another one opens. We very proud of Lily for all the hard work she has done. And thanks again for people like you to help her along her path.
