how MT use farm
Iron Horse utilizes a farm-based curriculum created by our clinical director to promote executive function, sensory integration, self-regulation, and motor skills in clients. Farm sessions take place both in and outdoors, and offers patients the opportunity to work with animals and be apart of a team bigger than themselves.
Generalizing skills learned in-clinic to the real world can be tricky sometimes. The farm provides an environment where different scenarios that require learned skills occur naturally.
MUSIC THERAPY
Equine Movement & Farm Therapy
Iron Horse is proud to partner with Elevate Music Therapy to provide co-treats to clients throughout the week. Music Therapy using equine movement combines horseback riding with music-based interventions to create a highly motivating, sensory environment.
Working together, OTs and music therapists will use music to target improved attention, reduced anxiety as well as increased motivation, communication and social interactions. Our horses are trained to tolerate music instruments being played on and around them, creating not only a fun but safe environment!

OT Evaluation
All OT evaluations will be completed in the clinical offices at either Windsor or Greeley. All patients must qualify for skilled OT services. This is to ensure appropriate fit & medical necessity for farm-based services.
Farm Waitlist
Once evaluated, either the evaluating therapist or ongoing therapist will refer to the farm wait list.
Once your child is at the top and there are openings in the schedule, you will be contacted by the clinical director to schedule ongoing visits.
