Here at Henden Ryse, our mission is to provide an animal assisted and farm-based experience in a safe, accepting, understanding and accessible environment. Amid taking time to connect with the animals and the outdoors our visitors can choose to participate in active and purposeful activities that focus on bringing a sense of accomplishment and empowerment whereby it all comes together to help bring a sense of wellness with the help of our wonderful furry family. Whilst our major focus has been offering farm experiences for the disability sector, we now branching out to offer tours and workshops to the public.
“There is so much research showing us that being with animals, being outdoors and having a connection with nature, results in a reduction of depression, anxiety and stress-related symptoms.” (Care Farming Australia)

Problem solving, patience and empathy
As a participant, depending on what program you or your group choose, you have the option of spending time with the ponies, (this program focuses on skills such as problem solving, patience, empathy, motor skills, breathing and communication) and/or farm activities such as collecting eggs from chickens when they are feeling generous, taking our sheep for a walk, feeding and being up close with the goats, miniature cows and alpacas.
