About Lily Creek Farms
We offer professional instructors, caring volunteers, and gentle horses. Our human-animal team provides rewarding and breakthrough experiences to improve the quality of our students' lives.
No other therapeutic recreational activity provides so many benefits in such a holistic manner. We have worked with and have witnessed results in people of many ages and abilities.
Students learn confidence, build strength, balance, and coordination along with gaining a sense of independence and freedom from his or her disabilities. We feel blessed to experience little miracles every day!
Jami is a Certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning through PATH International. She enjoys interacting with the students and volunteers at LCF, especially the kids! Jami is a graduate of Defiance High School and has taken courses in psychology, criminal justice, and event planning at Defiance College and the University of Toledo.

Therapeutic Riding Our riding sessions incorporate a wide range of goals into each session. Students ride weekly in small groups or individual sessions if needed.
Horsin' Around Field Trips These programs run anywhere from 2 hours to a full-day of farm fun including art activities, horse care, riding, and even meals. Horsin' Around programs are custom-designed for any school, senior, veteran, or community organization.
Veterans Programs We offer specialized programming for veterans and their families. These programs include riding and unmounted classes designed to help with the emotional and physical scars of military services.
Hippotherapy Started in 2021, this is a treatment tool using equine movement within occupational therapy, physical therapy, or speech-language pathology treatment.
Team Lily This is our traveling team consisting of a mini horse, mini pig, farm therapy dog, and sometimes our horse and carriage team. Our team visits local community events, senior centers, and other community organizations.
