OUR THERAPEUTIC FARM
It's More Than a Setting.
It's Part of the Therapy
Our 20-acre farm just 10 minutes north of Calgary is where something different becomes possible. For those who haven't connected with traditional therapy, the farm changes the equation.
20 Acres
Open land, trees, water, and wildlife. Room to breathe.
10 min. North of Calgary
Far enough to feel different. Close enough to be practical.
Purpose Built for Therapy
Every part of the farm is used with intention. Not recreational. Therapeutic.
Why a Farm?
Nature has a way of slowing us down and helping us focus on what matters. The farm offers space to breathe, room to move, and experiences that bring out strengths that are harder to access in an office.
Here, boys and men build skills through doing, connecting, and showing up. With the support of animals and a therapist who understands.
Natural Environment
Calming, grounded, and full of sensory opportunities.
Animal Connections
Horses and other animals provide honest feedback and build trust.
One-On-One with Lance
Every session is individual, focused on your goals.
Sessions Year-Round
The farm runs in all seasons and we plan for it all.
Meet the Animals
Our animals help make the farm a welcoming place to connect, explore, and learn. Each brings their own personality to the experience and often becomes a memorable part of a anyone's time here.
Horses
Meet Blossom and her daughter Rosie, two of the 11 horses who call our farm home. Each has their own personality and way of connecting.

Ponies
This is Smartie, one of our ponies. Her two best friends, Charm and Candy, are never too far away.
Donkeys
Meet Gordie, Twiggy, and Happy. Curious, social, and full of personality, our donkeys are always interested in what’s going on.
Ducks
This is Gertrude, one of seven ducks at the farm. She and her friends are usually busy exploring, swimming, or following the action.
Chickens
Meet Dorothy, one of the many colourful chickens that roam the farm. Our flock comes in all shapes, sizes, colours, and personalities.
What to Expect at the Farm
Every session at the farm is different because every person is different. Lance brings a clear therapeutic goal into each one. The activities you see below are how that goal gets worked on. Here's what a session might look like:
Grooming horses to build trust, presence, and connection through hands-on care.
Leading and groundwork to practice clear communication without words.
Building and navigating obstacle courses to develop focus, problem-solving, and self-regulation.
Farm chores and animal care to build responsibility, routine, and a sense of accomplishment.
Using the farm environment to observe, process, and respond.
Only your son works with the animals. This is a therapeutic session, not a petting zoo visit. Animal contact is reserved for the client only, and that boundary is what makes it work.
While your son is in session, the farm has dedicated parking, benches, and an outdoor playground for families who are waiting.
Every session is tailored. Activities follow what your son is ready for, not a fixed program.
Animal Connection
Build trust, confidence, and connection through working with animals.
Space to Regulate
Movement, nature, and open space create room to slow down and reset.
Learning by Doing
Skills are practiced through real experience, not just talked about.
Individualized Sessions
Activities are chosen around your son's needs, goals and comfort level.
