Nantucket Therapeutic Equestrian Center, Inc. d/b/a/
SeaPony Farm Welcomes you.

Where in the wide world can we find nobility
without pride,
Friendship without envy, or beauty
without vanity?
Here where grace is laced with muscle,
And strength by gentleness confines.
He serves without servility,
has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful,
nothing less violent; Nothing as quick,
nothing more patient.
The world's past has been borne on his back.
We are his heirs; he is our inheritance.
The horse.


Ronald Duncan in Ode to the Horse

We invite you to share in the special experience and bond as a participant in the program or as a volunteer contributing to the goals of the program. On behalf of the Board, Supporters, Staff and our "4-legged friends," I wish you the best experience possible here at SeaPony Farm.
