“Our Girl Scout Troop just had an amazing experience here! the staff was amazing - engaging, fun, professional. I am recommending this form to All Girl Scout Troops looking for an amazing horseback riding experience.”

“Jackie is awesome, very well educated and willing to share and educate others. Much love for the farm and my new family that I have here on the farm.”

“Jackie and all of the volunteers are absolutely amazing. They not only work with children and adults with disabilities but they also have helped my daughter who suffers from PTSD. It takes awhile to break her shell and get her to open up. They have done just that. My daughter has a dream of someday being a trick rider. With her PTSD that is a challenge to be able to open up and do that. Jackie has told her an I to never say never. That was the truth today she took some lessons that got her sitting and riding in “trick” style and she even stood! I was in tears the entire time. To watch my daughter go from a very quiet shy little girl to being so brave and standing tall while riding a horse was priceless. This is just one example of what she has learned in her time there on the farm. There is no better fitting name then, Hope Rising Farm. They have helped raise our hopes that our daughter will truly smile proud and happy again. I could go on forever about the amazing things that happen here, but I will just end that this is more then a farm to take lessons on riding or ground work... this farm is family to anyone who walks through the doors.”

“Magical place. Has been great for my daughter. I, too, enjoy spending time there. Cannot say enough about Jackie. She truly cares about the horses and people. All-around wonderful.”

“Jackie is truly amazing. She welcomed us with a smile. She is very knowledgeable and explained every step while saddling up a horse. Jackie is very patient and allowed my girls to groom the horses before getting them ready to ride. Lastly, she answered all of their questions with terms they’d understand. They had a great time and we will definitely be back again. I highly recommend Hope Rising Farm, LLC”

“Jackie is full of inspiration, and she must have a heart as big as that of a horse, for as much as she cares about her animals and the people they serve. Her passion to make her farm available to everyone and anyone with any kind of disability is truly sincere and heartfelt. Everyone should know about this place, even if it’s to “just” volunteer.”

“Creative lessons and a place for anyone!”

“Went to the farm for the first time today. Met Jackie as she shared her vision for the programs and farm you could see she loves what she is doing .Looking forward to volunteering to help with her vision .”
