Farm Therapy.

Therapy.

  • Two people, a man and a woman, sitting on a hay bale under a large tree on a farm, with two fluffy Highland Cattle, one on each side. The man is wearing a light blue shirt and hat, smiling, with a rope in his hand. The woman is wearing a plaid shirt, shorts, and boots, holding the head of the Highland Cow on her side, affectionately leaning close to it.

    While there's nothing we find more therapeutic than cuddling a cow, our Highland Cattle Experience isn't intended as therapy. However, therapy does take place at Koolah Creek!

    Did you know we have a fully qualified Occupational Therapist in the family?

  • Woman smiling while holding a young Highland cow on a farm with ducks and a pig in the background.
