    Wow. Okay. So I was referred to these people by two of my doctors as part of my PT program. I was…read morereally excited to see that they had a booth at the Cirque du Soleil show at the Santa Ana Star Center so that I could talk to them more about what they do. I wheeled up in my wheelchair and was immediately disappointed. They just would not speak to me. I explained that I had been referred to talk to them and they just said "okay" and continued to ignore me. There were two people manning the booth and they would not even hand me a brochure. Instead, they continued to hand brochures to other people walking by, talking about getting donations. I had to strain myself from my wheelchair to get my own brochure and sat there for an awkward several minutes while they talked over my head to people walking by while they just ignored me. It wasn't until I gave up and my husband wheeled me away that the woman said to call them and watch someone else's lesson and see if I would be a fit for them, with a tone of voice like she knew I wouldn't be. Too bad because I had family ready to make a sizable donation and I was going to be private pay.

    They used to be client orientated. Now it's all about the money. My daughter is special needs with…read moremental health disorders as well. One day the put her on a scale without my knowledge and told her she couldn't ride anymore. They have veterans who ride, that weigh more than her! Twuana Raupp the owner did this personally and humiliated my daughter. She has PTSD and now is quite upset. She was with them for several years. Mike Raupp the husband also likes to gossip about the volunteers and previous employees, sharing detailed and private information. So BEWARE! They are not equipped to deal with the handicap community, and instead have focused their efforts on money, money, money. It's a shame, because if you don't give them $$$ you don't exist in their eye 12/21/2018. Despite their comments, my daughter was not treated with any form of privacy or concern. I stand by my review. My google review was done when my daughter first started riding at LT. As I stated earlier in this review, their concept of client centered is now $$ centered.

    Horrible place to work. Also horrible place to take your loved ones. They where good at one point…read morebut after being there for 5 years it has really gone down hill. They need to clean house and get new management because the ones that are there are not in it for the right reasons anymore. Btw you and your clients would benefit more if you brought your day hab back.

If I'm looking for a term to describe my visits to Mandy's Farm, I'm going with Idyllic. The property is true country livin' and from what I understand, that's exactly what this nonprofit that assists folks with developmental disabilities -- chiefly, those on the autism spectrum -- is going for. What an incredible organization. And when you think about it, of course, simplifying is the solution. Individuals on the spectrum tend, generally, to really struggle with the peripheral, what's going on around them, ambient noise and motion and shadow, and the urban everyday is absolutely clattering with these distractions. Mandy's Farm provides a permanent residence -- it's a home, first and foremost -- for people who need to take shelter from the storm. Residents learn to simply live, whether that's cooking or growing food or riding horses, the main facility includes a specially designed swimming pool for rehabilitation, the farm provides tactile experiences and interactions with nature. How friggin' genius, man. Essentially, the story goes that the farm was named after Mandy, her parents were concerned about what Mandy would do as she matured and they got older, if she might struggle to handle the busy world around her, and so they built this farm, and Mandy started her own little business, E is for Eggs (she loves Sesame Street), and the farm has grown to support many people, a job training program, and produce they sell to local growers markets. You can experience the idyllic by volunteering your time, any time of the year. Just contact them.
