Ride-On Ranch would like to open our indoor riding arena to all members! Our only request is that riders help in keeping the lights on by paying $10 per rider per session. Non-members are invited to ride at $20 per rider per session. We are very grateful for the facility we have and all the work that has done to get us where we are today. This is just a small token of our appreciation.

AHA Approved Business Aspects of Hippotherapy – Saturday May 2 – Sunday May 3
Ride-On Ranch is extremely grateful for our recent donation from Photonic Health!
Recently our mini therapy pony, Chip managed to Houdini his way out of his stall. We opened the barn doors to find him standing next to an empty treat bucket, a turned over trash can and a destroyed hay bale. The worst part being that we knew the treats he had consumed were wrapped in cellophane. Our poor little guy had a very enlarged stomach was sweating and had obvious pain. First call was to the vet but due to his size they was very little they could do. The only choice we had was to get some oil in him, wait and watch. After administrating a little bute and some oil the first thing we did was grab the red light and start with the colic points. You could instantly see the relief in Chip when the light was used. As the day went on we were still not getting gut sounds. We went back to using the red light. Each time we red lighted there was a huge gut sound! It was the only sounds we had all day! He made it through the night and we began the process again. Again the only time we heard gut sounds was with the red light! After one round of the colic points in the morning, he began to pass fecal matter. His disposition became much brighter and he started to get his appetite back. We never did find the cellophane but we are convinced that without the red light this happy tale would most likely have had a different ending. Thank you Phototonic Health from Ride-On Ranch and Chip!
WE NEED YOU!

Hello There! DooLittle Here. You know the greatest therapy horse ever! Or at least that’s what my Mom tells me…. This holiday season, The therapy horses and I got together for a little molasses and fire side chat and we came up with a wish list for Santa.

Oh yeah, and Santa said that he’ll put you on the IRS nice list with these 501-C3 tax deductible items, whatever that means…. Merry Christmas to Everyone!!

Dear Santa,
My name is DooLittle and I am 15 years old. Most of the year I am a grumpy old man but I love when the kids come around with all their hugs. This year, they found out I have Lyme’s disease but I was able to overcome the symptoms and now I am feeling much better! For Christmas this year, I would love some tools to help out my sore muscles from Lyme’s, some new shoes and of course FOOD!
Love, DooLittle
