I-CAN-T.E.R. Farm is a therapeutic equestrian riding association and allows individuals with barriers to flourish through nature, gardens and horses. They are in planning stage to create and maintain a vegetable garden on the property which will be used for individual training and required maintenance. In concert with this new project, we are purchasing a horse drawn mower. Delivery is expected this spring and we look forward to seeing this mower using true horse power in action!
