Upholding high industry standards in animal care and practice is an important part of the Green Chimneys culture. The Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.) recently approved Green Chimneys’ reaccreditation as a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center.

The in-depth reapplication process takes place every five years and includes a peer-reviewed assessment of equine-related administrative, facility and program details to ensure all is in accordance with PATH Intl. standards.

Congratulations to our staff for ensuring both the wellness of our equines and the integrity of our programs for children with special needs! We operate an excellent equine education and intervention program comprised of therapeutic riding, horsemanship training, vocational training, and unmounted activities. In the program, children learn how to care for horses, donkeys and ponies, and to manage their own behavior and emotions to benefit their relationship with the animals.

Bantam Chickens

Meet the Bantam chicken family: a hen that arrived at Green Chimneys with seven new baby chicks in tow. A local resident who keeps chickens discovered the eggs in the hen’s nest and realized that many chicks would need a bigger home. Once they hatched, she wanted to keep the family together and brought Mama and her chicks to the Green Chimneys Farm where they took up residence in the bunny hutch, living together happily with their rabbit roommates. The two roosters and five hens have grown up looking just like their black and white-speckled mom so there’s no mistaking this family resemblance!
