Pediatric patients in Hackensack received a different type of therapy on Thursday.

Pony Power Therapies in Mahwah welcomed the children to their farm.

The founder says that it is a place where kids can just “be present in the moment.” The program is designed to help the children deal with their chronic illnesses, hospitalizations and treatments.

"Children are not coming onto our farm as a diagnosed patient. They are coming as children doing something new,” says founder Dana Spett. "Really anything that you would find in a therapy office is going to be applied here on the farm."

Spett says that the farm is working on “occupational and physical therapy" goals like walking, gardening and brushing the horses.
