Welcome to
Hinchinbrook Farm
Society
A non-profit organization whose prime objective is to provide a therapeutic horse back riding program to support the physical mental and emotional well-being of persons with disabilities. Its main clients are families with autism.
​​
We are currently partnered with 1 of the 2 riding locations registered with the Nova Scotia Equestrian Federation that provides therapeutic riding, using very close contact between client and horse as a partner to bring the autistic child into the exterior world as often these children are very insular and removed from the outside environment.
Summer Students 2024
​​Hinchinbrook was able to hire these wonderful students through a
Nova Scotia Grant and CDA Service grants.
