Our team at Happy Days Ranch is dedicated to helping foster youth by providing them with a safe and therapeutic space to improve their mental health.

Through our projects, we offer a variety of activities and support that promote healing and growth. By using animal therapy, equine-assisted therapy, horseback riding, and other farm activities, foster youth can experience the therapeutic benefits of nature and animals. We are committed to providing our programs to as many foster youth as possible, and we hope that you can help us in our mission.

  • Equine Therapy

    Our program is designed to help youth connect with nature and horses in a safe and supportive environment. Our experienced staff leverages the therapeutic benefits of horses to help youth build self-confidence, trust, and communication skills. Join us for an experience that will leave you feeling empowered and inspired!

  • Care Taking

    Animal care taking is a fulfilling and hands-on way for foster youth to get involved in animal therapy farm. By helping groom the animals and providing them with food and water, children are able to see how their time and effort can make a difference. Additionally, these activities have a positive effect on children who participate in this program—by offering them a sense of structure and achievement when caring for others.

  • Individual Focused

    Our One on Ones program offers a personalized approach to healing for foster youth. We understand that every child is different and requires an individual setting rather than a group. Our therapy specialists work one on one with each child, allowing them to work through their trauma at their own pace. Our program provides a safe and encouraging environment for children to find healing and build a positive relationship with a mentor.

  • Green House

    What could be more rewarding than teaching children about the environment while also encouraging healthy eating habits? Our Green House and Gardening program, where we provide the tools and knowledge for children to grow and consume their own fruits and vegetables. Our program also emphasizes the importance of being environmentally conscious, allowing children to make positive contributions to their community.

Hug, read, and hang out with our gentle cows and feel your worries melt away. Our therapy animal farm provides a peaceful environment for our youth to connect with nature and find solace in our cuddly cows.
