Become a Volunteer at Walk On Farm!
Walk On is a not-for-profit organization that provides equine assisted activities to children & adults with physical, cognitive, social and emotional disabilities. Walk On is organized for charitable and educational purposes to inspire people to advance to their highest potential.
Equine Assisted activities provide motivational, educational and recreational benefits that enhance the quality of life. Benefits derive from the interaction with the horse. The gentle rhythmical gait of the horse moves the rider's body in a manner similar to the human walk.
We are located in Barrington for the past seven years at Hart & Cuba Road
