This past Memorial Day weekend, Strongwater Farm announced a new 90-minute weekly program “Stronger Together” at Strongwater Farm Therapeutic Equestrian Center in Tewksbury, MA, created especially for First Responders, Veterans, and their families.
The program will be held on Fridays from 10 am -11:30 am starting May 30, 2025 thru July 11, 2025. (Except July 4th).
Folks are invited to participate in this unique, family-oriented program designed to bring first responders, veterans, and their loved ones closer together through horsemanship in a safe, nurturing environment. Families will work hands-on at the peaceful, equine facility with gentle horses, fostering confidence, communication, and meaningful connections—both with the horses and with each other.
The sessions will be led by a husband and wife team who have experience working with this specific population.
Program highlights include:
• Open to First Responders, Veterans, and / or their family members
• You may attend once or as many times as you wish, at no charge.
• 90-minute sessions each Friday morning
• Focused on horsemanship skills, teamwork, and wellness
• No prior horse experience needed
• This is an unmounted program (no riding)
• Individual participants are welcome
• Offered at no cost to participants
This program is more than just time with horses—it’s a chance for families to strengthen their bonds, build resilience together, and create lasting memories within a supportive, like-minded community.
Strongwater Farm encourages those interested to sign up by noon on Thursday for the Friday 10am – 11:30am program each week.
