ABOUT US
Our Story
Iron Horse Therapeutic Farm has been a long-term dream of owner Taneal Behm & her family. When she was younger, Taneal's grandmother gave her the poem "Iron Horse". After reading this poem, the dream of creating a facility where those of different abilities could experience life from the back of a horse was born.
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
Allison K.
​Such an amazing place!! The staff are so caring and compassionate. My boys have been here since they were babies. Taneal and her team have walked with them and supported them and helped them to thrive.
Laura S.
Taneal and the rest of the staff are warm, attentive, and conscientious towards both humans and their animals. As a horse owner and also a parent of a child who has attended many types of supportive therapies, I've seen a range of programs; this one is by far the most organized and thoughtfully run. At Iron Horse, the animals are all happy and confident, and the people are treated with the utmost respect and care.
Lillian C.
My kiddo and I absolutely love their events! It is a very inclusive place that is really welcoming. They have thought about everyone and ways to include everyone. Staff and volunteers were very nice and friendly. It is a great place for anyone to enjoy. Will be back for more events and services in the future.
Rodrick S.
I can’t say enough good about this place. They are friendly, kind and helpful. My son went here for occupational therapy and loved being here.
