Equestrians and animal lovers of all ages intrinsically understand the remarkable ways in which horses enrich our lives. By sponsoring a Green Chimneys horse, you will support the care of our equines and sustain the vitality of animal-assisted services for children with special needs.
Sponsoring a horse makes a great birthday gift, graduation present, or end of school year thank you.

For over 75 years, equine education has been a part of Green Chimneys School. Through animal-assisted activities and equine-assisted therapy, children with special needs are discovering new talents, establishing beautiful connections, and building confidence. From miniature horses to a Shetland pony and a pair of donkeys to draft horses, students are benefiting from riding classes, helping with grooming and groundwork, and developing essential skills alongside friendships.
Green Chimneys has chosen to affiliate with the Professional Association of Therapeutic Riding International (PATH Intl.) for many years to attain Premier Accredited Center status and to have our instructors certified in equine-assisted services. And most recently, Green Chimneys has been designated a mentor by the EQUUS Foundation.
With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
