Stonewall Stables located in picturesque Cold Spring New York\u2019s Hudson Valley is a heavenly treasure, an oasis to a very special group.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical Saturday morning when most families are fast asleep, Stonewall Stables is a hive of activity. \u201cEamonn we will first take Nugget for a warm up trot and then we will use the tractor to spread the manure on the back lawns.\u201d Eamonn smiles approvingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delicate way these instructions are related to Eamonn by Suzanne is ever so reassuring to a young boy who faces the daily challenges of high functioning autism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While completing the chores, the therapeutic interaction with the genteel horses, is totally enhanced by the tail wagging of Suzanne\u2019s dogs Brooklyn and Brody, even the nearby hens give their approval by the softness of their silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One can feel the tranquility as Miss Amber Bayly (staff member) greets the arriving children and their parents. \u201cCan I help polish Molly\u2019s shoes this morning?\u201d asks 5-year Ann, \u201cI am sure Molly will love that, let\u2019s go and let her know\u201d replies Amber in a soft, warm tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Within minutes Molly is standing approvingly while Ann applies a light black polish to Molly\u2019s hoofs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Suzanne is placing the riding saddle on Cassidy, a young mother approaches her with a very concerned look on her face. \u201cSuzanne my daughter just had a meltdown, I think it is best if we skip today.\u201d Suzanne with her ever so reassuring smile replies, \u201cdo not worry, I have raised four daughters, have five grandchildren, trust me, I have dealt with a great deal more than a little girl being a little frazzled on a Saturday morning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The verbiage that Suzanne uses is so reassuring not alone to the young mother but to everyone present, staff members, children, adults, volunteers and most importantly to the parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One can almost feel the sigh of relief from the parents to know that their children are in very safe hands with Suzanne and her staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within minutes, the little girl excitingly announces to her mother, \u201cLook at me mommy I going to give Bella her breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suzanne and her team both two and four legged, making a difference, one life at a time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
