Ranch Wellness isn’t just a camp, it’s a retreat. Parents call it magical. Programs are only for girls and women. It starts with girls developing a connection with their horse, which is very important in any equestrian program. Once they are comfortable, they begin riding and are given on-the-spot feedback so they can improve their horsemanship skills as they go. Horseback riding isn’t just about the physicality; it is also about how it helps riders mentally. It can be very healing and somewhat meditative, and Ranch Wellness encourages this aspect of it by doing energy and groundwork with their students. Owner and Director Diane Baker and her partner Bear are well-respected in the riding community, and riders come here to learn from her. She is passionate about horses and how they can lead you to the path of ultimate fulfillment. There are over 50 horses at Ranch Wellness, and many have been rescued and rehabilitated.
