RICHMOND, Mass. — Berkshire HorseWorks, Inc. has been recognized as the Best of 2025 Western Massachusetts Award Winner in the equestrian category.
This accolade is honor-based on verified data from Google Reviews as analyzed by BusinessRate, stated a press release.
The recognition is part of the BusinessRate BEST of 2025 Awards which identify local leaders in customer satisfaction, brand reputation, and service excellence using publicly available Google review data.
"This came as such a surprise, as there are so many wonderful organizations in the Berkshires who are dedicated to helping people through interactions with horses. Because this award is not achieved through an application or nomination, but instead based on authentic feedback from our clients, it is even more impactful. Our trusted rescued therapy horses facilitate change every day. We love what we do,” said Hayley Sumner, Founder and Executive Director of Berkshire HorseWorks, Inc.
Berkshire HorseWorks, Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit, which has offered Eagala Model Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, Equine Assisted Learning, Equine Assisted Team building, and other therapeutic and recreational activities with horses for 11 years, has expanded into the educational space, with the introduction of Horse Powered Reading.
All experiential programming for children, families, and those at risk with mental health, literacy, and behavioral challenges is funded through grants, donations, and direct pay from corporate team building and recreational activities including trail rides.
To date, BHW has seen over 4,200 at-risk youth, active duty, veterans, families, and other vulnerable populations in the Berkshires and throughout New England and New York.
