WATCH: The riders at Harmony Farms range in age from a four-year-old autistic boy to an 87-year-old lady suffering the ravages of a stroke. Referred by physicians or therapists, they are coping with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, autism, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. This video was produced in 2012.

Some Harmony Farms volunteers have clocked 15 to 20 years of service to the nonprofit.

“Harmony Farms would not be possible without volunteers,” said Rogan.

Many riders require three volunteers: a horse leader and two sidewalkers. Volunteers also groom and saddle horses, exercise them, and clean their stalls. Those who prefer indoor settings can help with administrative duties and fundraising events.

Unlike some organizations, Harmony Farms has no minimum time expectations from volunteers. Experience is not needed, either.

“We teach them what they need to know,” said Rogan.

While the minimum age for volunteering is 13, there is no limit to the maximum age, and some volunteers are enjoying their golden years out in the fresh air helping with the horses. Volunteers can start at any time.

The horses at Harmony Farms are inspiring, providing hope to the troubled and the infirm. They can change lives…and they do.

In addition to volunteers, monetary donations are always welcome and can be made at harmonyfarmsinc.com, where a wish list can also be found. To volunteer, call 321-543-2974 or 321-631-9433.
