Equestrian Activities at Bowers FarmThe Community Horse Program
If you believe happiness and horses go hand-in-hand, then the Community Horse Program may become your new passion. This exciting program allows you to connect with nature and horses in a community-based setting, regardless of experience level.
Our equestrian programs are designed to make the Bowers Farm horses more accessible to horse lovers through learning, hands-on experiences, and an ongoing commitment to caring for these beautiful animals.
When you join, you become a member of Friends of the Farm and your contributions go toward our mission of supporting, preserving and enhancing the Bowers Farm property, programs and activities.
Community Horse Program participants receive personalized training and accreditation through our Certification Program and have access to clinics, group rides, private lessons and time alone to ride or groom a horse of their choice!

A Little About Ourselves...
Welcome, from the Friends of Bowers Farm!
In 2010, a small group of us organized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit so that we could raise money to support the property and programs that go on around the farm. Since then, we've grown to include many volunteers and participants through our fundraising events and community outreach efforts.
If you've enjoyed the farm on a visit and are looking for a way to give back, or if you just want a little country in your life, this group is for you!
