    Main Stay's mission is to enrich mind, body and spirit through powerful connections with horses, animals and nature.

    Main Stay is a place where bodies are challenged, minds embrace possibilities, and spirits are renewed. Main Stay serves individuals from 3 to 90. Programs include therapeutic horsemanship and riding, equine and animal-assisted learning, and adaptive gardening. By partnering with horses, other farm animals, and nature, Main Stay's programs address a wide variety of needs including physical, cognitive, emotional, social and behavioral. Activities at the farm enrich lives in a caring, safe, and challenging environment that enables individuals to reach their full potential.

    Program fees cover less than 15% of the actual cost. Main Stay relies on private foundation grants, fundraising events, and generous benefactors to keep fees affordable and attainable for those who need services most.
