Echo-Ranch

who desires to connect with a horse, will have the opportunity to ride, groom, or just pet a specially selected equine partner. Our sessions are flexible enough to allow the time required to best serve the individual needs of the person. It is our desire that through these experiences, our guests will learn to trust and grow in faith and confidence as they work with and build a partnership with the horse and mentor. Our goal is to do this free of charge, in a faith-based and judgment-free environment. As part of our program, we also provide foster care for rescue horses. Some of these horses have been subjected to neglect or abuse and come with their own stories that many of our guests can relate to and are able to draw parallels to their own lives. As they watch these horses be loved and cared for, and even participate in the process, they are able to witness the miracle of transformation and begin to see the hope for healing in their own journey. In addition to horses, there are many other opportunities to participate in at Echo Ranch such as building or creating a project or art piece (i.e. birdhouse or stepping stone), planting flowers or vegetables in the garden, volunteering alongside our facilities team, etc.
