Iron Horse Therapeutic Farm has been a long term dream of owner Taneal Behm and her family. In her younger years, Taneal was given the poem "Iron Horse". After reading this poem the dream of creating a facility where those who experience life from a chair or in a limited capacity could experience life from the back of a horse. 

Since opening the clinic Integrated Pediatric Therapy Associates Taneal has been doing occupational therapy using equine movement at another boarding facility. When the program started to outgrow the facility we began looking for our own to fulfill Taneal's dream. 

In June of 2020 we purchased the property that is now home to Iron Horse. What used to be a quaint horse property with three pens and two pastures is now home to 9 pens, a therapy trail, and a large pasture. Through the summer and fall of 2020 we worked diligently to build onto the existing property getting it therapy ready. This included building 6 new runs, a hay shed, relaying the driveway and the additional parking lot, building an ADA accessible bathroom, and completely transforming the shop into a therapy barn and tack room. 

This process would not have been possible without all our lovely staff and volunteers that helped us along the way. 

Our growth is not done here, we still have more lives to change. In order to do that we need to move out of the shop that we turned into a therapy center and into an indoor riding arena, office, and treatment space. Colorado sure likes to make things interesting and while we are tough enough to survive many Colorado summers and winters it's time to move into an indoor space. We have started the process to build a 200x150 ft indoor space on our current property.
