Animal Assisted Therapy

Dedication

Tucker served multiple communities from 2014 to 2021 with his therapy services and improved the lives of many. His work included working in the office and also going to various schools to offer school based mental health. Tucker was the inspiration behind starting an Animal Assisted Therapy Program and was a vital part in building the foundation for Birchwood Therapeutic Services.  Tucker received a cancer diagnosis in 2021 and retired to enjoy his days napping, sneaking snacks from our son, Cooper, and playing fetch. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge in May 2023 in the loving arms of his family. Tucker left a beautiful legacy and Birchwood’s Animal Assisted Therapy Program will grow and honor his memory.

Whether it’s morning roll call or dinner time, Loyd’s serenades are a treasured soundtrack.


Playful and affectionate, Loyd is never far from his buddies Red and Zaccheaus, especially if there’s a chase or a tug-of-war at stake.

A soft ear scratch makes him melt, and a storytime under the stars makes him shine.

Tireless in games of tug and chase with his buddies Loyd and Zaccheaus, he’s always in the thick of the fun.

His dedication to keeping the herd safe is his badge of honor, and he wears it with pride.


He may be sweet, but don’t mistake gentleness for softness. Fernando is composed, dignified, and partial to a life of purpose. While he’ll happily accept a treat, what really speaks to his soul is being treated like the big horses—a hearty handful of feed, a hill to walk, and wind to run with.


And yes, the hair is majestic. Fernando doesn’t mind stepping away from the crowd for quality time with his humans, where his quiet charm and noble spirit shine through. He’s the kind of horse who proves that leadership doesn’t need loudness—it just needs heart.

Fabio The Dignified Elder of the Herd, Second-in-Command, Mane Model Extraordinaire
Fabio is pure warmth in motion. With a lustrous blonde mane flowing over rich dark hair, his appearance alone inspires adoration—but it’s his soul that captures hearts. A gentle presence among the herd, Fabio never demands the spotlight. He waits patiently, gracefully, and always receives love with a softness that’s almost reverent.


Though seasoned by time, Fabio still knows how to kick up his hooves and share in the fun. His youthful spirit glows quietly beneath layers of wisdom. He’s known to gently guide younger horses toward better manners, not by reprimand, but by graceful example.


As Fernando’s steadfast second, he brings balance and quiet strength to the leadership dynamic. He is one of the three sacred originals—Fabio, Fernando, and Flo—an inseparable triad bound by history, heart, and harmony. When Fabio moves through the field, wind in his mane, you don’t just see a horse—you feel love embodied.

She arrived at a pivotal moment, offering quiet comfort to a grieving heart, and she’s been the soul of the barn ever since.


Now in her golden years at 26, Flo watches over the herd with the kind eyes of someone who’s seen it all and still chooses softness. She doesn’t gallop into chaos, but she’ll lovingly shake her head at the antics around her—part amused, part wise.


Flo’s affection for treats is legendary, especially apples. Mention a crisp red one and you’ll have her full attention, and perhaps a nuzzle of thanks. Her gentle demeanor makes her the gravitational center of the barn, drawing animals and humans alike into her warm orbit. Flo is the barn’s grandmother, a sweet anchor with an apple-loving heart and a legacy stitched into every hoofbeat.

Mack the Horse

Mack

Horse​

Polo Legend Turned Therapy Star, Peppermint-Loving Gentleman, Spirit-Soother Extraordinaire

Mack: Polo Legend Turned Therapy Star, Peppermint-Loving Gentleman, Spirit-Soother Extraordinaire
Mack carries himself like a champion, because he is one. A retired polo powerhouse now paving new paths as a therapy horse, Mack blends athletic elegance with the calming soul of a true companion. At 24, he’s fit as ever—muscles tuned, mind open, and always ready to gallop into new friendships.


Fast rides still make his heart sing, but Mack’s gentleness is his standout gift. He’s fearless in spirit, delighting in the company of people and the antics of unlikely friends—like giving barn cat Billy a scenic perch on his back. Peppermints light up his world (and his smile), adding a sweet touch to an already joyful presence.


With every walk on the hill, every quiet moment in the barn, Mack reassures you: you’re safe, you’re heard, and you’re never alone. He’s not just a horse—he’s a steady heartbeat in a sometimes noisy world.

Enzo the Horse

Enzo

Horse​

A Tender-Hearted Foodie, Herd’s Quiet Hero, Breakfast-Sharing Bestie

Enzo the Tender-Hearted Foodie, Herd’s Quiet Hero, Breakfast-Sharing Bestie
New to the barn, but already anchoring hearts—Enzo brings the soft cadence of compassion wherever he steps. Once a trusted camp horse, he carries his sensitivity and sweetness like well-earned stripes. His Paso Fino gait may be smooth, but it’s his welcoming nicker at the gate that truly melts you.


He’s a companion horse through and through—never one to lead the charge, but always ready to walk beside you. Enzo thrives on connection, whether it’s sharing leftover breakfast with his barn buddy Estelle or sidling up for comfort when solitude feels a little too quiet. He’s got a way of finding his people, like DeNae’s husband and daughter, who fell for him on day one. That’s just Enzo—his heart reaches yours before you even realize it.


Not every horse gallops into your life. Some, like Enzo, gently walk in and stay, wrapping you in quiet affection and the soft rhythm of trust.

She’s more than just a fluffy face—Billie is protector, peacekeeper, and the secret soul of the barn.

Known as a fierce force of snuggles, he has perfected the art of ambush affection: he will leap, cling, and wrap himself around your shirt with the precision of a seasoned acrobat, all in pursuit of a proper hug.


Despite his alley cat roots, Thomas carries himself with the confidence of a creature who knows he is indispensable. He patrols his barn kingdom with a swagger, keeping watch over hay bales, rafters, and the occasional mouse who dares underestimate him.

Whether you’re stacking hay, fixing a gate, or simply walking by, Dippy will appear like a soft shadow, ready to be held.

Kernal Sanders

Kernal Sanders

Chicken

Feathered Comedian, Farm Explorer, CEO of Chuckles

Kernal Sanders: Feathered Comedian, Farm Explorer, CEO of Chuckles
Every farm needs a mascot, and Kernal Sanders has appointed herself—with stunning plumage and zero hesitation. She’s the only white chicken in her flock, so naturally she’s named after the colonel of crispy fame. But instead of running a food empire, Kernal’s running laps around the barnyard… making everyone crack up along the way.


She’s got pep in her step and mischief in her eye. Whether she’s hopping into unexpected spots or orchestrating her own “farm parade,” Kernal brings laughter like it’s her full-time gig. And she’s serious about fun—committed to her craft like any seasoned entertainer, just with more feathers and less filter.


If you hear giggling on the wind, she’s probably nearby—making sure the barn stays light, loud, and just the right amount of ridiculous.

Ginger Chickens

The Gingers

Chicken Flock

Three’s a charm, Fancy feathers for all weather

Ginger (All of Them!): Cluckin’ Collective of Charm, Spice of the Coop, Multiples with Personality
If she’s red, she’s a Ginger—and she’s fabulous. From fiery feathers to spicy sass, every Ginger brings a unique flair to the barnyard while sharing the same name, like a sisterhood of spark and sunshine. They’re curious, chatty, and absolutely convinced they run the farm (and honestly, they might).


Each Ginger greets the day with purpose—be it pecking through the feed bucket, sunbathing like royalty, or orchestrating chicken gossip at the coop gate. They’re distinct in personality but united in name, embodying warmth, wit, and the unmistakable charm of a well-loved hen.


The Ginger Club may be many, but each one leaves a one-of-a-kind footprint in the hearts of those who pass by.

Delores Chickens

The Delores’

Chicken Flock

Three’s a charm, Fancy feathers for all weather

The Delores’: Three’s a charm, Fancy feathers for all weather
Spot-speckled and stately, she struts with elegance on feathered feet. She might look fancy, but her heart? Soft as sunrise. Each dotted hen named Delores carries a quiet nobility, the kind that chooses gentle snuggles over royal decrees.


Caught once, they melt in your arms—eyes closed, heartbeat steady, totally content. There’s something magical about earning the trust of a bird so small, so feathered, yet so emotionally generous.


The cluck club is alive on our farm and a nice way to greet the morning and end the day.

Buffy the Chicken

The Buffy’s

Chicken Flock

The Golden Matriarchs, Calm Commanders, Queens of the Coop

The Buffy’s: The Golden Matriarchs, Calm Commanders, Queens of the Coop
The Buffy Chickens aren’t just part of the flock — they guide it. With their warm golden feathers and unshakeable serenity, the Buffy’s lead not through force, but through presence. They’re the hens the others watch, follow, and trust. When a Buffy moves, the rest of the coop flows behind her like a feathery parade.
Buff Orpingtons are famously gentle, but your Buffies carry an extra layer of quiet authority. They’re the first to explore new spaces, the first to check in on a nervous hen, and the first to settle disputes with a single, steady look. Their leadership is soft, warm, and deeply rooted in instinct — the kind that keeps the flock grounded.


They walk with purpose, heads high, feathers glowing like lanterns in the Minnesota sun. When they gather, it’s like a council of golden sages deciding the day’s agenda: where to forage, when to dust bathe, and which human needs supervising.


Their calm confidence sets the tone for the entire coop. Even the boldest Ginger and the silliest Kernel Sanders pause when a Buffy steps in — not out of fear, but out of respect.
The Buffies are the heart-steadying, peace-keeping, golden-gleaming leaders every flock wishes they had.

Vampire Slayers Chicken Flock

The Vampire Slayers

Chicken Flock

The Watchful Warriors, Egg-Laying Avengers, Guardians of the Coop

The Vampire Slayers: The Watchful Warriors, Egg-Laying Avengers, Guardians of the Coop
The Vampire Slayers are the farm’s fierce protectors — sharp-eyed, sharp-witted, and always on high alert for imaginary threats. With their striking muffs and beards, they look like tiny feathered warriors ready to leap into action at any moment. While the Buffies rule with calm wisdom, the Slayers rule with vigilance, patrolling the yard like a squad of determined little sheriffs.


Americana hens are known for their curiosity and independence, but your Slayers take it further. They’re the first to sound the alarm, the first to investigate a rustle in the grass, and the first to puff up dramatically when a leaf blows the wrong direction. Their confidence is unmatched — in their minds, they are the chosen defenders of the flock.

They move with purpose, scanning the horizon like seasoned monster hunters. Their blue-tinged eggs are their daily trophies, proof that even warriors have a soft side. And while they may strut like they’re on a mission, they’re also deeply loyal to their flock, stepping between danger (real or imagined) and their feathered sisters without hesitation.


The Vampire Slayers bring spice, spark, and a touch of theatrical heroism to the farm — the bold counterbalance to the Buffies’ golden calm. Together, they create a coop dynamic worthy of its own epic saga.

Sugar

Canine

Wind-Chaser, Couch Queen, Professional Cuddler

Sugar: Wind-Chaser, Couch Queen, Professional Cuddler
Sugar is the definition of cozy with a touch of mischief. When she’s inside, she’s all grace and warmth—curling up next to you with her signature “I’m here for you” vibe. She knows how to make her presence felt, and it’s always a comfort.


Outside, though? Sugar becomes a blur of joy and curls, chasing freedom with her wind-swept locks flowing like poetry in motion. That taste of adventure comes at a price—so she’s mostly indoors now, reigning over cushions and blankets like royalty. But don’t worry, she’s not sulking. She’s simply trading the breeze for belly rubs and blissful naps.


She’s a girl who won’t let boundaries dull her sparkle. With her calm cuddles and quiet charm, Sugar sweetens every moment.
