“Taxpayer moved geographic farm locations to enhance program, enable the ability to add to the herd and serve more participants. Much of the 2019 focus was moving livestock and setting up the facilities at the new location to support the mission of "creating a safe and compassionate farm environment used to benefit disadvantaged youth." We were able to serve over 200+ participant/family visits were during the transition to the new location. Some kids visited more than once. We supported group visits as well. Some groups worked on the move and property enhancements, some worked with horses and volunteers while others came through to learn about our program model and spread the word. Continued to support our volunteer base and enhanced the volunteer program/opportunities to include a new community outreach program to introduce ourselves to the new area we now serve and grow a local volunteer base. Support approximately 20 full year round, active (at least twice a month) volunteers. Ended 2019 with a total of 15 program horses, a donkey, four goats, and a farm cat. Program horses were regularly vetted, exercised and trained by equestrian experienced volunteer staff. All programs horses were actively used with volunteers and program participants throughout the year. Ethically maintained and enhanced the lives of our herd with supportive and regular veterinary, high quality feed and new and expanded size of our facilities. We grew the facility property from 4 acres to 30+ acres. More space for the horses to live on and more space for our program to expand the opportunities our participants can utilize (ie now can offer trail rides, grazing fields, etc.) Until the final move in March of 2019, we continued our partnership program with local occupational therapy office - in a 90 minute session, after the OT works with the child on farm chores that focus on building OT goals, the child then gets to transition into becoming a MGF participant working alongside MGF volunteer with a horse. Kids suffering from social anxiety disorder made progress and showed outward signs of social engagement with peers, volunteers and adults onsite during visits.”
