Susie Bjorklund; founder of freedomfarm
member of NARHA
It has been said that “in riding a horse we borrow freedom.  In 2000, I decided to fulfill a dream to share that freedom with those whose lives, minds, and bodies are not as free.  And so, inspired by my life experiences and training, I opened my heart and the doors to freedomfarm-- a therapeutic riding center in Waverly, Minnesota.

Re-Accreditation!

 

In November of 2008 Freedomfarm participated for the second time in a voluntary accreditation process through NARHA, the national organization with whom we have been affiliated since 2000. Freedomfarm was successfully accredited for its first 5-year term in 2003.

Two NARHA representatives spent a day at Freedomfarm reviewing files, touring the facilities, observing a lesson, interviewing staff and volunteers, and conducting a comprehensive examination of all programming, administrative, and facility particulars. We are delighted to report that Freedomfarm passed this accreditation process and will continue as a Premier Accredited NARHA CenterFreedomfarm is one of five accredited NARHA centers in Minnesota (25 total).  Of the 700 NARHA Operating Centers nationwide, only 25% are accredited.
