    It’s wonderful to see children participate in this equine assisted therapy. They don’t know they are receiving an effective therapy; they are riding a horse, having fun, and feeling loved by our team of caring therapists and volunteers.

    BINA Farm Center does not work directly with insurance providers for our programs, however, some participants in the Hippotherapy Program have had success with reimbursement for their Physical or Occupational Therapy if their insurance covers the therapy. We recommend calling your insurance provider to determine if this is an option for you.
