Welcome to Excelsior Ranch

Our Vision

To inspire and nurture the human spirit with the authenticity of the horse, building growth, self-discovery, and empowerment.

Our Mission

At Excelsior Ranch, our unwavering commitment is to enrich lives through experiential equine sessions, unveiling strengths, conquering challenges, and fostering profound healing. Join us in the 'Excelsior' spirit, where each stride advances a better self and community.

Our Specialties

Excelsior Ranch offers a distinctive approach to equine-assisted therapy, exclusively working with horses on the ground. Our sessions empower clients to find answers within themselves, bypassing the need for extensive verbal communication. Addressing challenges ranging from trauma to relationship issues, our unique method fosters metaphorical connections with horses, delivering transformative experiences. 

What people are saying

"You can't lie to a horse.  If you are not being authentic, they know.  If you are afraid and trying to hide it, they know." 


"The horses are teaching me the difference between being assertive and being aggressive. I realized I need to change the way I am interacting with my family."


"I am learning what it means to stay in the present moment, to stop revisiting what happened to me and live in the here and now."
