Horse and Heart Ranch is dedicated to personal transformation through experiential learning in nature with horses. In the tranquil setting of our ranch, high in the hills overlooking the bay, we nurture the journey of self-healing. Equus Anam Cara (EAC) addresses the critical need for effective intervention and alternative therapies for youth in transition. Our program increases emotional wellness and teaches practical life and social skills through an active outdoor experience that is more interactive and compelling to youth, and therefore more effective than traditional talk therapy. EAC strives to create emotionally healthy and socially competent youth who become well-adjusted, thriving members of community, and are prepared to make a positive contribution.
