About New Leaf Farms
A Place For Everyone
New Leaf Farms is a neurodiverse-affirming, welcoming barn for adults, teens and children to experience the magic of horses. Our focus is teaching people to communicate and respect our equine partners through groundwork, training and specialized learning activities. We offer a trauma-informed environment that specializes in neurodiverse-friendly training methods. We welcome those with ADHD, Autism, anxiety, developmental disorders and other conditions. We are also a safe space for LGBTQIA+ and are body positive.
Our Vibe
Our space is designed to welcome and accept those who may identify as something more than mainstream. We are a trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ friendly, neurodiversity affirming business. Bring your special interests, your stims, your fleece onesie and sensory issues. No need for eye contact or small talk if you don't want to. We welcome you to be yourself, not what's expected by society.
Our Ethics
Programming at New Leaf Farms is always rooted in fair and ethical human and animal interactions. By learning how to connect with your animal partner, humans can learn invaluable lessons about communication, respect, boundaries and love. We appreciate and honour the efforts of our horses and other animals to help improve our lives as humans. We acknowledge their innate wisdom and healing abilities and help translate that into practical, everyday skills our clients can use.
New Leaf Farms is a space that welcomes diversity. The equestrian world can be rigid, competitive and elitist. Our goal is to open this magical world to those who may be left out at other barns. We do not measure success through competition or skill progression. Our goal is to help clients develop connected, resilient and creative mindsets. With the help of the horses, clients of every age can enhance social skills and learn to manage stress and anxiety more effectively.
