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.

a note from Susie ...   Freedomfarm is celebrating!  My heart is filled with incredible joy as I look back at our humble beginnings.  But most cherished are the relationships with so many families and volunteers and the many success stories... riders that have never spoken, spoke their first words here, signed their first requests here, riders that when at school can complete only a 2 step task but when on a horse complete 7, riders who know they are not like other kids at school and get treated differently-come here and let their spirits soar, the confidence then carries over to school.  All while atop their beautiful horse.
