Lily Creek Farms LCF is a 501c3 nonprofit that uses equine-assisted activities to heal mind body and spirit.

We have a professional team providing growth and learning opportunities through the use of equine-assisted therapy to improve the quality of our student’s lives. For children and adults with disabilities, the equestrian experience is life changing. No other therapeutic recreational opportunity benefits so many aspects of a disability in such a holistic way. Imagine the sense of confidence and independence a rider who uses a wheelchair feels on a horse. Think of a student's muscles growing stronger as he brushes his horse. Watch the emotional connection a rider develops with her horse, instructor, volunteers and fellow students. We have seen firsthand how working with a 1,100 pound animal and gaining its trust, increases a child or adults self-confidence, self-respect, and sense of responsibility. The farm is a place where riders of all ages benefit physically, cognitively and emotionally from a wide variety of horse experiences tailored to their needs by our horses, instructors and volunteers. At Lily Creek Farms, these kinds of "Little Victories" happen every day. The joy of watching one of our students that has Cerebral Palsy, smile and point at his leg and say to us…”LOOK, LOOK, at my leg” as his leg stretches out to its proper length as he sits in the saddle and rides. Or watching Joey, one of our Down Syndrome students who came to us with no attention span and very limited vocabulary, in only 3 weeks tell the horse to go and help tie a saddle and listen to every word our instructors tell him while he is sitting so tall and proud in the saddle! These moments are beyond words and remind us again that our philosophy is true…the greatest of these IS love!

❤️🐴 A heartfelt THANK YOU to the Swanton American Legion Murbach-Seifert Post 479!

Last night, we had the opportunity to share the story of Lily Creek Farms with the members of the Swanton American Legion, and we left feeling incredibly grateful.

They generously donated $5,000 to support the people and programs of Lily Creek Farms!

At a time when community support means more to us than ever, this gift is not only a tremendous help, but also an incredible encouragement to keep moving forward.

To the members of Murbach-Seifert Post 479, thank you for welcoming us, listening to our story, believing in the work happening here, and investing in the lives of the individuals we serve.

Your generosity helps us continue creating opportunities for confidence, independence, connection, and growth through our horses and programs.

And just as importantly, thank you for helping us spread the word about Lily Creek Farms. We are so grateful to have you as part of our community.

$5,000. One incredible act of generosity. So many opportunities made possible. ❤️🐴

From all of us at Lily Creek Farms, THANK YOU!

❤️🐴 The impact is priceless. But making it possible has a very real cost.

Every week, more than 100 individuals come through Lily Creek Farms. Each with their own story, challenges, goals, and reasons for being here.

And behind every smile, every breakthrough, and every connection with a horse is an incredible amount of work, care, and financial support.

Right now, it costs over $200 to provide just ONE participant session. And that's operating on an extremely lean budget.

We ask our families to contribute what they can, with a minimum of $60 per session. For many, even that is a significant financial commitment.

The difference has to come from somewhere.

That's where YOU come in.

Lily Creek Farms depends on the generosity of our community to make these opportunities possible. And right now, we need that support more than ever.

Whether you can give $20, $50, $100, $200, or become a monthly supporter, every gift helps us continue serving the people who depend on these programs.

❤️ Will you help us keep these moments happening?

If you're unable to give, please SHARE this post. You never know who might see it and be inspired to help.

Because the horses may be the reason people come here, but the people are the reason we do this. ❤️

🐴🛒 OUR HORSES HAVE A SHOPPING LIST TOO!

If you're planning to shop the Amazon or Walmart deals this week, would you consider adding something for Lily Creek to your cart?

With 17 horses, more than 100 children and adults coming through our programs each week, and a whole farm to keep running, we go through a LOT of supplies!

Our Amazon Wish List includes things we actually need and use right here at the farm. ❤️

And here's the best part, you don't have to buy it from Amazon! If you find the same item for a better price at Walmart, Tractor Supply, Rural King or somewhere else, absolutely buy it there and drop it off or have it delivered to Lily Creek.

📦 SHOP OUR AMAZON WISH LIST:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/EW3W105749KV?ref_=wl_share

Even the little things add up. Every item donated is one less expense Lily Creek has to cover, and right now, that makes a BIG difference.

Already shopping this week? Add something for the horses to your cart. 🐴❤️

And please SHARE our Wish List,you never know who might want to help!

There’s something special about the farm when everything gets quiet. ❤️🐴

On Sundays, when the arena is still and the barn finally slows down, it gives us a chance to look around and remember just how far God has brought Lily Creek.

There have been beautiful seasons, hard seasons, unexpected blessings, and plenty of moments when we simply had to trust that God was still working even when we couldn’t see what was ahead.

Today, we’re grateful.

Grateful for the families who trust us.
For the volunteers who keep showing up.
For the people who believe in what happens here.
For 17 incredible horses who give so much.
And for every person God has placed in Lily Creek’s path along the way.

We don’t know exactly what the next season holds, but we know Who does.

So today, we’re choosing gratitude, faith, and trust for whatever comes next. ❤️

If Lily Creek has touched your life in some way, we’d love to hear what this place has meant to you in the comments.

And if you believe in what happens here, please share this with someone who may not know our story yet.
